Hi I recently had an external hard drive fail, I bought a new external drive, but Lr is looking for the original to back up to. The disks are from different manfacturers, how do I change the destination to back up to the new external drive?

When you get the backup dialog, click on the 'Choose' button and choose the new destination.

Thanks

Unfortunatley I have all the filles on my new drive which were put there by one of Adobe's  helpers via a computer share I have no idea how to get those back from the million and 1 fies that represent each days photography. Lr CC appears not to have worked correctly since day one. Are there any further tiers of help besides the community and someone messing around inside my computer?

Yes, we can help, but we need a much more clear explanation of the problem. Screen captures showing the issues would help — use the "Insert Photos" icon to include your screen capture in your reply; do NOT attach files. Also, please state the version number of your Lightroom Classic (and not word like "latest" or "up-to-date").
