Can't open Lightroom Catalog from saved backups on my PC

[miranda22194250t8lp]

I'm using Version 13.3 of LRC on a PC, Windows 11.  I am unable to open any of my saved catalog backups.  When I click on the zip file, I get the following error message.  I am storing my backup catalogs on my OneDrive so they are also backed up to the cloud.  I have set the permisssions on the LRC folder in my Onedrive to full access - read/write/edit.  I would greatly appreciate any advice!

You need to unzip the file.

Typically these are the steps taken when trying to use a backup catalog.Typically due to a corrupt catalog.

• Rename or move the corrupt catalog
• Copy the backup and locate it in the hard drive, in the folder the corrupt  catalog is/was in
• Unzip the copy
• Double click on the copy.

You can't open a catalog from OneDrive. Copy the zip file to your loacal drive and unzip it as @GoldingD wrote.

Oh, I missed that bit. Hat tip to AxelMatt.

LrC and OneDrive, Bad, very bad. for backups OK, for working Bad, very bad.
