You don't have to do anything but typing what I said... As long as you
run xfdesktop, obviously.

You can run just "xfce-setting-show" and choose backdrop in the list, or
even left click on the root window and select "Settings manager"

But where the config file resides won't be of any help - It's not
intended to be changed by hand. xfdeskmenu is deprecated, xfbd4 is
deprecated too.
