Lightroom Backup Mirroring Folder/Album Category Org Structure, NOT by DATE

I have all of my photos organized in LR by categories. Reason is for legacy purposes, think about it, if my kids get a hold of my LR backup, how will they find photos of them with the backup by DATE only? If the backup mirrored my folder/album structure, each person can go to their folder/album, with their NAME, and find all their photos. Can you please please consider the LR backup to mirror our organization structure and not by date? Could there be an option to choose when setting up the backup drive? Thank you.

Just out of curiosity: What backup are you talking about? AFAIK, Lightroom (not Classic) does not have a backup feature.

It’s the local backup of all the photos in iCloud. LR > Preferences > Local Storage > Store a Copy of All Originals. Then, designate a location (for me, external hard drive) which stores all original photos files that are stored in the Cloud. Backup. These are only by date.

I have all of my photos in the Cloud, and I have them all categorized with folders and albums. For example, a folder for Family, and then organized in that folder by child. I want the back up to mirror the folder/album structure instead of by date on the local backup, then I wouldn’t have to manage the organization on the base EHD hard drive that I use in the local area, it’s double the work, hope this makes sense. There is a local backup of LR.
