[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1932406, member: 83420"] Randy has provided good personal advice as well as links to Apple. He also mentioned Disk Formatting which I think is a really important aspect of Time Machine backups. Given that you are running Ventura and, I assume, have an SSD, it may be worth casting an eye on this Apple Link: [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh15139/mac[/URL] In general if you attach a clean EHD to the Mac, TM will do the appropriate formatting for you. In my setup TM formatted my 2 EHDs to APFS Volume - APFS (Case-sensitive). It might be worth opening Disc Utility, click on View at the top and choosing Show All Devices. Then click on your TM EHD and choose the lowest indent and see what its Format is. Ian [/QUOTE]
