[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1787096, member: 204485"] This thread has been an interesting read because yesterday purely by coincidence I was reading through the information pages at Bombich regarding the pros and cons of creating an APFS backup for HS. It had occurred to me that it may have been advantageous to reformat my EHD as APFS in order to erase my Macintosh HD and restore. Why would I want to do that? Because I have a Bootcamp partition for Windows 10 that I would like to remove but Bootcamp Assistant is no longer caperble if removing the partition in HS. To achieve this I would need to erase my HD and either perform a clean instal using the HS installer then reintroduce all of my data from the clone or TM or erase and reverse clone from my backup (the preferred method) but, if I do that I will be cloning a HFS+ version of HS onto my HD. So it occurred to me that if I were to create an APFS clone the process would be simple and reverse cloning would retain the Apple filing system. [/QUOTE]
