[QUOTE="neocortex, post: 1804384, member: 400945"] Just wanted to post an update on here really quick as to the final solution in case anyone else has this issue in the future... I did find another external HD, moved the 100 GB from a 3TB drive over, ERASED the 3TB and reformatted it (through Time Machine preferences, it will do this for you if you choose that as the disk you want to use as backup). APFS Encryption to an External HD DOES NOT work with High Sierra OS if you are backing up your time machine. Thanks for all the help! [/QUOTE]
