Lightroom Classic backup
I use Lightroom Classic CC 8.1 for MacOS, with all the latest updates. I am now developing a backup solution. Clearly I need to back up the folders with my photos, and the lrcat file. What else?
Specifically, which of these need to be backed up? I expect both the Previews files can be rebuilt as-needed. What about the Helper?
LightroomPersonal Previews.lrdata/
LightroomPersonal Smart Previews.lrdata/
LightroomPersonal.lrcat
Furthermore, there seem to be other critical components in
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
which seem to include plug-ins and setting files.
It would be nice to know what needs to be backed-up, and when restoring from back-up, how and what needs to be re-installed or replaced.
