[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1928746, member: 83420"] My iMac has Monterey as its OS and my two Time Machine backups were automatically formatted to APFS (Case sensitive). I believe that is the preferred format. TM may well work with previous formats, but it takes longer to backup. My answer to your question is that the APFS (Case sensitive) should be the standard and I would format any drives for TM backups as such. If you can find another EHD, format that as I described and use that till you are satisfied that all is well, then re-format the present TM EHD. Ian [/QUOTE]
