Hi. My lightroom classic catalog is corrupt as are recent backups of it. I have tried letting lightroom fix it and creating a new catalog and importing the corrupt one. Neither strategy worked. Is there some way to fix the catalog without having to repeat all of my work?

Well, quick, make a backup of it, and store it on a different disk than your backups were stored on.

Have you examined your backups back as far in time as you can possibly go, to see if they work? What happens if you unzip a fresh copy of a backup catalog, and store it on a different disk than the original catalog is on. Does it open then?

I can successfully start lightroom classic with a version 13-3 catalogue dated 11/27/2024.
