oh ok,well John, could you please tell me how to get a saved backup file in TM?
I get to the section for date and can only go back so far, seems to hang and
the previous button is dimmed after that.
this disc starts in March 2018 to present date,but no way have I been able to
get to 2018 through time machine.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Trish

For Mojave and, I believe, Catalina, Time Machine is not formatting APFS for
the drive. However, it still backs up APFS volumes and you can recover files as
usual or restore entire backups.
APFS containers, on a side note, are pretty interesting to work with. You
can create, for example, an operating OS within your system disk or an external
disk as if you are partitioning a drive.

Hi John,
Please explain further on the APFS not working in Time Machine?
I am pretty sure that my backup disc is setup this way,if it is not allowing
for recovery of backups then how would I get older backups if I should need
to?
I am not part of the other discussion listed here,this is just for older
files from my home group that I might need to get back.
Appreciate any help,
Trish

The thing is Apple has really tightened up security in Mojave and
Catalina. You really have to understand how disk security and APFS works for
considering backup solutions. You need to give Mojave and Catalina full disk
access in System Preferences for it to work and then use Security Utility
from the Recovery HD to make sure you can boot from an external OS properly.
Time machine will still work even though it is not using APFS at the
moment. You can still restore from a Time Machine backup as before.

Hi,
I’ve just been through an interesting experience with the new Mac OS
Catalina and older HFS/Mac Extended Journaled formatted drives I’ve used for
quite some time, going back to the days of older Mac Operating systems.
Problems started arising when I wished to restore backed up data and
Superduper refused to restore from a Mac OS Extended Journaled drive to the
new modern APFS formatted drive so it was time to do some poking about with
Google to see if I could find information on this subject.
The Developers of Superduper themselves cover the topic extremely well in a
discussion I found and I include the link here as I’m sure others will be
interested in the read and may wish to save this in their Mac Tech Reference
file.
