Anyone know how to change the lightroom catalog to recognise a backup of the actual image files? I have 2 hard drives - one which is a clone of the other. The primary drive failed and I need to open the catalog using the cloned drive...

Windows: change the drive letter of the backup drive to whatever the drive letter of the failed drive was.

Mac: change the name of the backup drive to match exactly the name of the failed drive.
