I am new to Lightroom CC. In fact, I am new to Lightroom. I currently have two external drives (3TB each) to which I backup my photos. Each drive has the same folders and same photos. On each drive there is a primary folder labeled, "Digital Photos." Under this are a number of folders and subfolders containing photo files.
Questions:
1. How can I include the files currently on the external drives in lighroom? Do I simply hook up each drive and import the files into lightroom? Will lightroom recognize subfolders? Will each drive have its own catelog?
2. How can I backup the files on my PC to each of the two external drives? I want the same photos on each external drive so that I have a backup in case of drive failure. Where will the catalog reside if I backup to two external drives? I am wondering if I should move all files onto 1 of the external drives, then copy to the 2nd external drive.
