Adobe Elements 2018 Organiser - restore problems

Backup works ok, however for some inexplicable reasons restore makes copies of the media files on the system disk and links the catalog to them, though they are stored on an external drive. This causes low space problems on the system drive and therefore forces me to rely on Mac's Time Machine and Carbon Copy for my backups.

There seems to be no option to restore to default locations.

The previous version never seems to have had that most annoying problem.
