[QUOTE="rbpeirce, post: 1927970, member: 410088"] Just read it. It deals mostly with the Macintosh HD, snapshots and Time Machine, which is a whole other bag of worms. I find Get Info and Disk Utility adequate for getting around the Drobo Desktop Capacity issue, which is my primary concern. When I used HFS+ my backups were all to sparsebundles. With APFS I can backup to individual volumes. I don't know if they take up more or less space than a sparsebundle, but that doesn't matter as long as I have enough space. What I do like is I don't have to mount them to see what is in them and they are pretty much instantly accessible. Also, although I've had very little trouble with them I've read sparsebundles can be unreliable. [/QUOTE]
