Jens, Lightroom only creates copies of the image source files if you import using the "copy" or "move" options. It does not make copies at all if you use the "reference files in their existing location" option. When it does make a copy, it makes only ONE copy unless you set the option to backup to another location on import too.
In its File Management preferences, you can set it to delete previews automatically after one day, one week, 30 days, or never since they were last opened. You can also set it to automatically create a Backup library, or not, in the General preferences. (If you are backing up the library directory tree to an external volume on a daily basis anyway, I can see little point to telling Lightroom to make a backup too. You should, however, occasionally have it do an internal database corruption/consistency check.)
