[QUOTE="Mikeo512, post: 1874716, member: 404931"] * I want to make a temporary backup of documents that are now on an MBP (Big Sur). * They were originally created on another Mac (High Sierra). * I have a Dual San Disk flash drive but this needs to be formatted. * Disk Utility on the Mac (Big Sur) does not offer APFS as a formatting option for this flash drive – only Extended Journaled. * Is this perhaps because this particular flash drive cannot handle APFS? * If I allow Disk Utility to format it with Extended Journaled, will the documents still be saved? Or will they get corrupted? Thanks in advance for comments. M [/QUOTE]
