Hi All, I had PSE15 installed on the C drive of my desktop computer, with the Catalog on the C drive and the photo images themselves on a different internal drive, D. The C drive crashed, and I had a new Internal C drive installed, along with a new installation of Windows 10. I subsequently reinstalled PSE15. I did back up my catalog on a third internal hard drive, F, before the original C drive crashed. So, the D and F drives were unaffected. To summarize, the original photo images remain on the D drive, and the backed up Catalog is on the F drive. When I reinstalled the PSE15 application, a new, empty Catalog was created. My questions are: 1. When the Catalog is backed up by PSE15, is both the Catalog and full sized images backed up, or are the images only thumb nails of the originals?. 2. In order to restore a backed up Catalog, which files are needed? I have both a .buc file and .tly file. 3. If I restore the backed up Catalog through the reinstalled PSE15 application, will it reinstall what will essentially be duplicates of all of my images, which are still on my D drive. I really only need the Catalog containing all the tags, etc. I will probably upgrade to PSE 2019, but I would like to solve this issue first. I really don't have time to go back and redo tags and the face recognition on 20,000 + photos. Thanks. Jon
