Is there a way to specify where the LR catalog backup goes? I can't find anything in either Preferences or Catalog settings, the backup goes into x:/My Documents/My Pictures/Lightroom/Backups but I'd like the option to backup to another computer on the network. Am I just missing something?

For the record, my catalog resides on the second partition of the RAID ' array for speed, My Pictures is on the data drives, a RAID 1 configuration. If that matters....

TIA,
 
I've tested this with "Next time Lightroom starts" and "Every time Lightroom starts" and when the dialog pops up telling you that a backup has been requested, there is a "Choose" button next to the backup path. Click this and navigate to where you want the backup to be. The setting is 'sticky' so should only need selecting once for each catalog you use.
 
Thanks, guys! I had looked all over Preferences and Catalog Settings, never noticed it in the Backup dialog box....
