All the the various Photograpy Plans include Lightroom Desktop and Mobile (different plans have different Cloud storage levels - and one doesn't include Classic).

If you import and photos into Lightroom Desktop or Mobile then as long as you have internet connection and enough Cloud storage, all photos and edits will sync to the Cloud and across all devices.

The plan I have is the Lightroom Plan, where I have the lightroom cloud and lightroom mobile applications, plus 1 TB of storage.

And I would like to know if there is any way to have a backup on an external disk just like you can have in Lightroom Classic, which is by copying the folder where you have the lightroom catalog, the photographs and the database with the adjustments that I have made. to each photograph.

Well, the same, as it is done in the lightroom application in which you have stored all the photographs in the cloud.

Thanks in advance and hopefully you can give me a solution.

It's possible to download a copy of the original image files from the cloud to a local drive, but they are of course not edited (as edits are stored in the catalog)....so not really much use as a working backup.

 

It's also possible to manually backup the local catalog, but as that local catalog would be rebuilt automatically from the cloud's master catalog if you have a local disaster, the benefit of backing up the local catalog yourself is somewhat dubious. 

 

If you were thinking that your own local copy of the local catalog could be used to correct some significant error that you might have made to the master cloud catalog, then I don't think that's possible. From a fairly limited test, the restored local catalog would be reset to conform to the position of the master cloud catalog. But that was a limited test, I haven't had the time to do any more extensive testing.
