Hi, I hope you are all doing fine!
I have a question which bothers me.
I am using 2 separate external discs, one for working (A) and another one which is a backup (B).
A and B are strictly identical, they have the same name, the same folders and files. Whenever I plug A or B, my LR catalog does not see the difference between the two and recognize them instantly.
However, when I say that A and B and strictly identical it's not entirely true.
The xmp files of A and B are different, while the ones of A are up-to-date, the ones of B are only the ones from the latest backup.
My question is the following: if I plug B to LR, will my catalog automatically update the xmp files to the ones it has in "memory" hence the ones of A, or will it keep it to the one of B ?
I hope I was clear enough...
Thanks for your help !
