Okay, this is actually a two part question because I maybe have a fix...kinda. Here goes.
I'm a hobby photographer who just recently picked up my camera again so I wasn't really up to speed on new updates of Lightroom. I imported images on 4/4, started sorting through them, edited 2-3 and had no issues. Backed up normally and all was well. Last night when I opened my catalog it asked me to update and it updated and changed the name to "Same Name-v10" but when I went to exit Lightroom, it couldn't back up the catalog and gave me a box saying the catalog was corrupt and the option to repair, and then could not repair catalog. (I do have a backup from 4/4 which is another part to my question because I've never had to restore from a backup and am not sure the best way to go about it.)
Someone suggested I rename the catalog and try to open then. It opened right up, but does not backup when I exit Lightroom so clearly that is not the solution I'm hoping for. Any and all advice is welcome!
Short story:
1. Upgraded catalog is now corrupt and won't repair, changed name and it opened, but won't backup. Please help!
2. Correctly restoring from a backup (or how to backup this renamed catalog that will not backup when I exit now.)
Thank you!!!
