Yeah, it's just that if two drives got corrupted at the same time, I'd
wonder about the computer they're attached to.
WHY did the drives get corrupted? Could the computer be doing something
that's going to corrupt other drives?
Even if it was one drive went bad several months ago and the other went
bad this week, I'd still want to know the computer wasn't at fault.

John, the problem appears to be with my hard drives, which got corrupted blocks
at the same time. I plan to back up everything, use DiskUtility to reformat
both drives, and then transfer my data back.
A lot more fun than taking pictures, right?

One reason I don't use Lightroom is because my initial experience with it had
it trying to hide the catalog from me. I couldn't find the files after I first
loaded them (among other problems).
Can the computer find the files? Not using Lightroom; just the computer itself?
Can you do the Backblaze backup using a different external drive?
I may be teaching Grandma to suck eggs, but those are some simple diagnostic
steps that can help you decide if the problem is with Lightroom, Backblaze,
your external drives or your computer itself.
FWIW, here on my Windoze PC I can view DNG files using Irfanview and FastStone
Image Viewer, so if I suspected a bad card, I could check it out on this different
computer (I have a separate computer I built for photography & editing).
I think both of those programs are available for Apple/Mac, so if you need a
way to check whether the images are still on the card ...

It happened again.
Yesterday I took the K-5 and 50-200 for a walk around the neighborhood. I took
about 50 shots.
As soon as I got home, I removed the card from the camera, put it into the
reader, and loaded the photos into Lightroom.
I ejected the card, but did not erase it. Before I went down to prepare and eat
dinner I started a Time Machine backup to an external drive used only for that
purpose; and when that was complete I launched a Backblaze backup.
I worked on the photos in LR after dinner, and worked up 9 of them to be posted
as PESOs.
This evening, I went to post the PESOs. Lightroom now has a little box with an
exclamation point in it for every single photo, and yesterday’s backups (which
I watched until they were complete) are not visible either on my backup drive
or in Backblaze.
I’ve been using the same system since 2005, with no previous problems; and now
it has screwed up twice in the past week, and 3 times in the last few months.
Any thoughtful ideas will be much appreciated.
