Hi, APFS is the new format used by MacOS. APFS does not support hard links, so cannot be used for a Time Machine backup drive. If the drive is already formatted APFS, when it is chosen as a Time Machine location, you will be prompted to have it reformatted as MacOS Extended (Journaled) so that Time Machine can do its thing. Your Mac drive can be APFS, but the backup drive for Time Machine needs to be MacOS Extended (Journaled).
