I am getting an error that says "This appears to be a dupicate or automatic backup of your catalog. It may not be current, sync has been disabled."

I have tried restarting several times and turned off the backup of the catalog. Any ideas?

Hi There,

That does not sound good, let's make it right.

Could you please have a look at a similar discussion here? https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/-problem-syncing-with-current-catalog-every-t...

Also, what version of Lightroom and the Operating System you're using?

Regards,
Sahil

The discussion you site does not seem to have a solution either. I can try deleting teh file. I'm running Win with V8.4

Interesting - I do not appear to have a sync.lrdata file. I have looked in all the usual places and several abnormal ones - no luck

The problem seems to be with the catalog rather than syncing which gets turned off when a catalog other than the synced one is opened and that seems to be your position.

I don’t believe Windows 8 is supported but first, which version if Lightroom and where is the catalog kept?? Do you make backups and where are they kept?

To Clarify - Running LR v8.4 - I had backup turned on but turned it off to see if that was the issue. I have a separate disk with all my photos . That's where the catalog is kept. The backups go there too, it would be nice if you could change that, but I don't see a way to do that
