how to force backup to a new HD?

[KariJP]

I copied whole catalog to a new HD: copied all photos (the whole folder structure), the catalog file and also renamed it. Then opened LR and corrected missing folders. Everything works nicely, but I can't find out how to force the backup to go to the new HD. LR makes the backup to the old folder. I have copied the folder that contains the backup. Any Ideas?

Hi Kari

Change the backup frequency temporarily to 'when Lightroom starts', restart Lightroom so that the backup dialog comes up, and then you'll be able to change the backup location. You can then change it back to your normal backup schedule.

I agree, it's definitely not obvious Kari! That's what we're here for!
