Hi guys,
I received an alert that says: REPAIR CATALOG The Lightroom Catalog-2-2-v13-3” is corrupt and cannot be used until it is repaired.
The repair process may take several minutes.

…… It has been several hours and the wheel is still twirling.

I have a Macbook / Sequoia 15.1.1
And I have the backup drive.

What’s your best advice?

Thanks a lot,

Thanks dj.

Do you mean use this catalog for instance?

It's the latest.

Yes you could restore that one, and if that doesn't work, try a few of the older ones.

Thank you, dj.

Just stop the repair, connect my LR drive and my backup drive, and reverse the back up direction?

Hi dj,

Here are screenshots from a) my original drive called "LR" and, b) from by backup drive called "BKUP".

As you can see, they are mirror images of one another - I use SuperDuper! for that as mentioned earlier.
So what would be best for me to do here in your opinion? Thanks.

I can't see your file attachments (or anyone's file attachments). You have to use the "Insert Photos" icon to include screen captures in your reply.
