[QUOTE="neocortex, post: 1804441, member: 400945"] IWT (Ian)...I may need some clarification from the other users as well, but YES... When I went to just *Right Click* "Encrypt 'My Book'", it Encrypts in APFS format. THEN, time machine can NOT backup to an APFS formatted disk. As of now, my HD is Decrypted, but in the correct format for Time Machine to backup on. CHSCAG*^ Just to clarify, is it possible to Encrypt in HFS+ format? If so, how? Because when I just go to *right click* "Encrypt 'My Disk'" I do not see the option. Going the route of FileVault, also, I do not see an extra option for. Thanks [/QUOTE]
