Hi guyzz, im kinda new to lightroom and starting to build up catalog for my 40k archive, so, one things i cant really understand is, where are catalog settings, such as pick flags, color labels, stars and keywords are stored, to back it up on hdd, because I decided to use smart collections, those settings are vital for my cat i think.

Everything is stored in the catalog.

Everything is stored in the catalog.

The catalog is a file with the extension of "*.lrcat". By default this file is located in the Lightroom folder inside the Pictures folder.
