Hi all, if I copy (drag and drop) my main LR Cat and LR Library from one external drive in another ( name the Cat say, the date I do this) would I navigate to the drive and LR will be able to open that Cat with images?
Or should I do it within LR and how to link it? Is there any differences to which way to do this copy? The letter P is my Parent, if I right click here, is this where I "Export this folder as a catalog" and navigate to my new external hard drive and "save as". Let it do this, once this is finish how do I then bring my images over from within LR to the new external drive?
I want to store this as I am going away for about 9 month and if something bad happen ( lose Laptop and master LR drive) at least I have a working LR Catalog and images from the date I do this
