Hi, Phil, Big Sur requires APFS formatted drives for Time Machine I believe. So best would be to use Disk Utility to reformat the WD drive as APFS and then select it as your Time Machine destination. This is exactly what I have done with our WD drive and I’ve got it portioned so that I can use the non-Time Machine portion for other purposes, e.g. a Photo App Library destination.
