Lightroom does no backup of your image files at all, that is
completely up to the user to set up.
as an interesting point of comparison, Aperture can copy image files into a
backup location on import; i do this, automatically creating a YYYY/MM/DD
folder hierarchy on both master and backup volumes (the latter over Gigabit
Ethernet)
e.g. originals in ~/Pictures/2012/07/11
and backups in [network drive]/aperture/backups/2012/07/11
as i think is clear from the discussion, keeping backups in the same
hierarchical structure facilitates recovery in the loss of a disk, or simply
when moving everything to a new computer, as i've done easily with Aperture; i
choose a structure which never needs to change; all subsequent organization is
done in the catalog
Aperture relinks slightly differently from Lightroom — in Aperture you choose
an image to relink and find the corresponding file in its new location, then it
will relink all the other files based on its knowledge of the hierarchy,
working up the folder hierarchy as necessary
the Aperture catalog doesn't auto-backup — wish it did — but it's structured so
that syncing changes via Time Machine is fairly efficient
