[QUOTE="pine man, post: 1801382, member: 329282"] My backup drive is a spinner so APFS wasn't an option when it came to formatting it. I have formatted it MacOs Extended (Journalled) GUID Partiton Map and carried out a full back up of my APFS Mojave Drive, which is a Fusion Drive. Looking at that drive in Disk Utilty it appears different from before. It shows as Fusion Drive containing a Container 2 Disk Drive which contains the Macintosh HD. All are APFS although, obviously part of it is a spinner. The backup didn't take too long to boot and everything seems ok as far as I can see including sound etc. Edit I just rebooted and went to erase the test backup disk I had used and noticed that it now gives additional formatting choices. APFS, APFS (Encrypted), APFS (Case sensitive) and APFS (Case sensitive, encrypted). Now where to go? Another Edit Formatted it APFS and it looks as though it creates a VM and puts the drive inside that and both are APFS. [/QUOTE]
