Yes, but you lose those things that are stored only in the catalog like flags and static Collection membership. And of course, you also lose all dynamic collection criteria.Ah, thanks. I was trying to understand the impact of a loss or corruption (yes, I backup) of the Lightroom catalogue. So assuming, I have save metadata checked, the DNG files themselves, can be used without having to redo the entire processing history?
A second order concern is with backups, DNGs are big files, and metadata writes are little bitty trivial data changes. But depending on how your backups are configured, you may be doing a lot of backing up of large files, with the consequent bandwidth and time implications, to capture those little changes.
