how to recover a catalog from a back-up copy after hard disk crash

Hello

 
I work on MAC.
My external hard disk “A” (with all my pictures) crashed. Luckily I had a full copy on external hard disk “B”. Disk B has also a tiime machine copy of my Mac. 
I bought a network external double hard disk (Synology) and I copied my drive B on that new drive Synology. 
When to try to recover my Lightroom catalog from network Synology, the message I received is the following: 

"Lightroom ne peut pas ouvrir le catalogue nommé “Lightroom Catalog-2” situé sur le volume en réseau “PHOTO”."

When to try to recover my Lightroom catalog from hard disk B, the message I received is the following: 

"Erreur inattendue lors de l'ouverture du catalogue."

 

How can I get my catalog back in LR ?

Can anybody from Adobe help me ?

You cannot run Lightroom with a catalog on a NAS. Manually copy the catalog to your internal hard drive.
