Corrupt catalog recurring error

[mario67]

For the last month this error is recurring with only one of my catalogues. 
The only solution has been reopening the catalog from a catalog backup file.
Even so, some days later it happens again, and again.
 The other catalog I work with is fine.
Can you please help me?

Repeated corrupt catalogs are almost always because of a hard disk malfunction. As a short-term solution you want to copy one of the recent backups to another drive and open it from there. Long-term you need to get a new hard drive.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I've got the catalog on an Samsung T7 Shield and the photos on several external HDD.
I suppose you refer to the hard drive with the catalog, right? Or can it be one of the others?

Is the catalog on an external drive or network connection?

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Everything on external drives, the catalog on a separated faster drive.

I am getting thge same issue since the most recent Lightroom Classic update is this just a fluke? Two other friends have experienced the same issue since the update it seems to me that it can't be all of us getting the same issue since the update.

Could it be realted to the missing previews issue too? When I start the application it takes two or three attempts to rebuild the catalog bore starting successfully.
