Is it possible to update Lightroom catalog to point to new locations of pictures?

Question

I run Lightroom on Mac (M4 Mac Mini). All pictures are stored in two external drives (primary drives). The catalog is on another separate drive. The pictures (and catalog) are backed up to some other drives. Suppose that my primary drives die. Can I update the catalog to point to the locations in the backup drives where the pictures are backed up?

Thanks

Yes, it's very easy to do. The key to success is making absolutely sure that the backup uses the exact same structure, folder and filenames. See Part 2 of below tutorial
