[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1812861, member: 396914"] No, at least for CCC. It will remain HFS+ format. See this from Bombich: So, it will NOT be formatted automatically, but remain HFS+ Yep. Ok, the setup is incorrect (not formatted to APFS) so the question is inappropriate. Both backups are HFS+. What Apple is saying is that if the backup drive is formatted to APFS can be read by HS, which supports APFS, but not Sierra, which does not. But in your two systems, neither backup drive is HFS+ Now, if Mac 1 was used to format the backup to APFS, then Mac2, with High Sierra, could read it. But if it were Sierra, it could not, as Sierra does not support APFS. And that is what Apple has said. Does that help? [/QUOTE]
