[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 410076, member: 986"] You can not direct LR to TM to access your original files. Think of TM as if it isn't there. I use a MacBook Air while traveling. I maintain a catalog there. When I return home, I export the images to my primary catalog on my Mac Mini. I do utilize Smart Previews for a couple smaller catalogs on the Air. Smart Previews work exceptionally well and IMHO are one of Adobe's cleverest ideas. For example, I have over 11k images in my "Europe" catalog. The Smart Preview size is only 11GB while the original full catalog is nearing 200GB!! If it helps, about a year ago I documented my backup methods on my Mac Mini [URL="http://nikonites.com/computers-and-software/20172-new-year-resolution-improve-backups.html"]here[/URL]. Here is a video by Julianne Kost that I referenced when setting up my Smart Preview use. Hope it is useful! [MEDIA=youtube]OLNelp1Z-ok[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
