I have all my images and LR catalogues (yes I started life in LR with separate catalogues for large shoots) on an external drive using 3.5GB. I am running out of space so I have bought an external Raid 1 drive (2 x 8TB).
I am running the new CC Classic.
Some folders of images have their own dedicated LR Catalogue.
Some folders are Parent folders (such as my “Travel” folder) which sub-folders of each destination and each has its own related Catalogue.
Then I started a master catalogue linking to to several folders.
I am also concerned that I will loose the collections I have created- e.g within my travel folders I will have catalogues of picks or those images images designated for a photobook.
I do have a utility, “Back-up Guru” that I could use to copy the images to the new Raid drive.
I wish to avoid disaster.
And I guess I should I first upgrade the catalogues to Classic before doing the move?
What is the recommend approach to tackling this?
