With Cloud Storage, each culling or editing project you upload to Imagen is automatically backed up. Currently, Cloud Storage only supports photos uploaded from Lightroom Classic catalogs, not those uploaded directly from a folder.

Cloud Storage backs up your work in two different processes. It:

• Uploads the project photos for culling or editing.
• Uploads the high-resolution photos to Cloud Storage for backup.
  
  

Keep in mind

• Uploading for culling or editing is the top priority. Cloud Storage uploads these projects first.
  For example, if you start uploading a culling or editing project during the backup of a project to Cloud Storage, the backup upload will pause, and the new project will start uploading immediately.

• If the Imagen app is turned off while your computer uploads a project, the upload process resumes automatically from where it left off the next time you open Imagen.

Back up older projects not in Cloud Storage

• 1. On the Projects page, locate the project whose photos you want to back up. Make sure that the photos are connected to a Lightroom catalog. For more info, see How to Identify and Re-Connect Missing Original Photos in Lightroom Classic Catalogs.
     
     
  2. At the right end of the row, click the More Options (⋮) menu, and then click Cloud Photos, or click the cloud icon in the Cloud Status column.
     
     
     
  3. Click Upload This Project.
