[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1804389, member: 83420"] @neocortex If I’m reading your post correctly, then it has been established from the start that whether your Mac’s Hard Drive is formatted HFS+ or APFS, the Time Machine External Hard Drive must be formatted HFS+. HFS+ is aka Mac OS X External (Journaled). Then you can encrypt it if you desire. I presume that’s what you were meaning? Ian [/QUOTE]
