The correct folder as ACE-OF-ACES pointed out is

C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME HERE>\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

ie in your 'My Documents' folder under 1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover, it is easy to access and backup.
You can save your controls in game through Option/Controls, you can save different profiles for various tasks eg bombing, dogfights etc and load them into the game when required.
