[QUOTE="jeb, post: 758972, member: 49382"] I always shoot in RAW and when I travel I download to my pc and an external drive as a backup. I use Lightroom (Classic). I had intentions to build a new photography PC once we finished building a new house, but that took 3 years longer than expected, so I simply kept filling my hard drive and external drives. Now I have a new system built (with RAID 5) and I'm transferring everything over. But the majority of my files are jpg only! What the heck? Where are my .nef files? I use 3 camera bodies (D4, D810, D500) and ALL are set to RAW + jpg. I am in no way a novice to photography or Lightroom, but I just don't understand what could have happened. I have since bought a Canon R5 and my RAW files are always there. I don't see any issues with my Nikon cameras, and I find it highly unlikely that I would miss RAW files from all 3 of them equally. I don't see that I've screwed up any options in Lightroom either. Is there some grave error I have made? And yes, I'm sick at losing nearly 3 years of RAW files (I do have the jpgs). [/QUOTE]
