My data drive SSD failed, I was able to restore the data from backup, but I lost the configuration and synchronisation info in the GUI.
I found sync.ffs_db and thought, this info will be from this file, but obviously not.
I can restore the *.ffs_gui config files, but the last synchronisation date is lost.
Any idea where this is stored and if it can be restored?

The last sync date should (according to other threads) be in the GlobalSettings.xml file.
Location: see Expert Settings.
However, that dat should not be relevant. Simply run your sync configuration.
Even restoring your sync.ffs_db files is less relevant (or can even be a bit risky if the left- and right-side
sync.ffs_db file do not reflect the status after one and the same FFS run).
So, first only run a Compare, carefully check the proposed sync actions, and only if OK run the actual sync.
