I have installed vlc with snap on Ubuntu 18.10, and the result of my search on the internet says that the configuration file for vlc should be located in ~/.config/vlc, but for me, there's no such directory on my system, so I was wondering where can I find the configuration file(s) for vlc in case I want to have a backup?

Thank you

/snap/vlc/current/bin/vlc-snap-wrapper.sh seems to be passing the argument --config=$SNAP_USER_COMMON/vlcrc when invoking VLC.

Looking on the snapcraft website https://snapcraft.io/docs/environment-variables#SNAP_USER_COMMON it looks like the typical value for $SNAP_USER_COMMON is $HOME/snap/<snap package name>/common

Putting this all together the path to your vlc config should be $HOME/snap/vlc/common/vlcrc. It can confirm this is the location on my system (Ubuntu 18.04)
