[QUOTE="enfolder, post: 1844381, member: 404080"] No, I think I understood that you were referring to the format of the Time Machine drive, not my MacBook Pro. I've been using it continuously for years on both machines so I think it's in the correct format. Well, the Time Capsule shows up in my Finder, has the correct name, and I can see my backups as a sparsebundle. It also has the correct name in the Time Machine preferences pane. So, I think it sees it. I agree it doesn't make sense, especially since the problem is intermittent! For instance, the last backup succeeded! As did the first one I tried after a reboot of my MacBook Pro. I'm not sure what format the Mojave laptop is in. [/QUOTE]
