Where do the widget settings get saved on the Wordpress db?

I want to backup the settings for the widgets on a WP blog. I took a look at the DB but I can't find where they are located. If you could provide some insight, it would be great.

Thank you.

All is in the database but more configurations of the Widgets are in serialized format. To change the reference on serialized data there is some scripts, i use this that work fine.

They are saved as serialized values in wp_options. Their option names are prefixed with "widget_"
