[QUOTE="cawsf90, post: 1864028, member: 405871"] In Finder it says Macintosh HD - Data2, not just Macintosh HD. In regards to TM, I chose the EHD when it asked me what I would like to use to backup. After the backup was complete I opened the EHD and the new backup was there. If it is using the internal hard drive as well, I don't know. All I know is that I'm using the EHD and then unplugging it afterward. In Disk Utility, Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD - Data2 shows APFS Volume macOS 10.15.6 Finder shows Macintosh HD - Data2 which is macOS 10.15.6. Does this mean my computer is still using the old macOS even though I upgraded to macOS 10.15.7? Macintosh HD2 and Macintosh HD2 - Data shows APFS macOS 10.15.7. I will screen shot Disk Utility with each Volume chosen so that you may see what each one looks like. There will be four pictures. In answer to where the "Finder" and "House" symbols are, you will notice those in the screen shots that I posted. This is not in Finder, but in the Disk Utility. The "Finder" symbol is on the Macintosh HD2 and the "House" symbol is on the Macintosh HD2 - Data. The symbols are with the hard drive. Also, when I click on the Home folder in Finder, nothing shows up. The folder is empty. I hope that this is helpful. [/QUOTE]
