Lightroom Version Number
4.4
Operating System
  1. Windows 10
Using Lightroom CC Version 4.4 - Win 10. When exiting the dialogue to backup catalog does not appear.? Under menu items I see no option to optimize catalog or any catalog settings? Also cannot find the LR catalo (lrcat) in Explorer?
 
If you're really using 4.4, the catalogue is kept in the cloud, so Adobe is responsible for maintaining backups of it. That also explains why you can't find it on one of your hard drives.
 
Thank you...I am used to classic but obviously no worries unless the cloud crashes!

Lightroom Classic backups offer more than an assurance that your data is always there. With a Classic backup you have an ability to go back in time to recover from mistakes. When you delete an image in Classic, you delete its history from the catalog file. When you delete an image from cloudy, you have 60 days to “undelete” before it is permanently gone. And since there is no trail of prior backups, in cloudy your ability to recovered an image from an earlier state is limited.
