Hi Guys,
Everything is in the title.
I just keep reference of these two files and can't find them on my 1.18.2 installation.
So I would like to know if they are needed and if yes where in Ubuntu/linux installation.
Thanks in advance.

Try $HOME/.MakeMKV/_private_data.tar. The sdf.bin file is inside _private_data.tar.
