I have Elements 2022 and Windows 10. When I get the message to backup the catalog where does it go? Does it make a separate copy each time I say yes to a backup or does it simply overwrite the previous copy? I don't want to fill up my drive with tons of copies. Thanks for any help.

I found it. I had to turn on the "Hidden Files" feature of my Explorer. Thanks for the assistance and sorry for being a pest.

IIRC, a maximum of 3 auto backups are created on a rolling basis. It only comes into play if the program has an issue with opening the last used catalog. Also, it is not designed for a user to restore an autobackup manually, although it is possible to open the autobackup catalog by double-clicking the catalog.psexxdb file.
