Q: Where does OS10.11 store IPad backup files?

I just updated my mid2010 MacPro desktop with OS 10.11.4. I have an IPad Air 2, which I back up to my hard drive with ITunes, over USB. I keep a copy of each backup in an archival folder, so I can search them with a third party app.

 

In older OS versions, the backups were stored in the Mobile sync folder of the Library. I don't see a folder of that name in the Library of El Cap, and spotlight doesn't find a folder with that name.

 

Where are my mobile backup files stored in El Cap?
