If you want to get lost out of your own world, go and see Wicked. Brilliant film. A whole day off for me. Bliss.

Looking back at your original post in April it appears you already have your drive in APFS from the image you posted. If that is so, all you need do is get an external SSD and make it APFS for backup (use Disk Utility to do that, not Superduper).
ADSR seemed to have a somewhat different situation wherein he did not want to go the APFS route if he could avoid it. Generally speaking APFS should only be used on SSD drives and not disk drives as it would be slower than HFS+.

Every time she would get a message that copying did not work because of the APFS problem. She ignored that for a year! I realize now her mac hasn't been backed up for that long! I did post the topic here months ago, but did not understand how to fix this. You did offer advice, but I gave it up. That you!
I will review the problem again, and try to follow your suggestions herein to see if this works. Hope I can come back to you for advice if need be? Much thanks!

Would anyone like Lambie (a smaller more manageable version) to help contribute towards my recent vet bills.

Newt had colic last night. A vet job. My nerves are shot to pieces.

Moved the horses so we could bury Storm. And then I needed cheering up so my two rescue sheep found me and smiled. Job done.
