Restoring From Import Backup Files


i have lost primary copies of photos due hard drive crash. copies have in folder structure created upon import backup (photos imported on...). catalog stored on third drive, , uneffected exception of photos being missing.

 

how can match catalog files not in folder structure of origionals? have 65,000 photos in cagalog, , locating each folder daunting.

 

thanks!

if backup photos not in same folder structure originals, @ least differences folder names, , not file names.

 

if backup folder matches original folder z, can match right-clicking on original folder z in lightroom folder panel , selecting "find missing folder" , point backup folder a.

 

if there isn't level of matching, have manually match 65000 photos 1 one. or start over. in case, suggest different backup strategy , organizing strategy, no longer move photos folder folder organizing strategy (use keywords , other metadata instead) and/or use external (third-party) backup routine backs things in way backs existing folders. actually, recommend both.
