An SSD is a good idea. But it is worth the time to learn more about
Disk Utility. Select the volume in question and navigate through all the
items to the bottom and you will find APFS Snapshots..

Thanks for the suggestions, Brad and Johnathan. Jonathan, I have never heard of
snapshots, so have no idea how to search for them. Brad, trying to erase the
disk is my next step. I’m trying to decide between that, and just getting a
new backup disk. The one I have isn’t that old, but I have been thinking about
going to a solid state disk, so I may just use this as my excuse to do that..
Cheers,
Donna

Try erasing the disc, and starting over like it was a new disc.

It won’t let me use that volume because I’ve used it to back up a different
computer. I have deleted all the backups of my old Mac, so I don’t understand
why this is even an issue.

Time Machine? You need to go into its settings and create the folder there.

Hi all,
I’m trying to get my new M4 MBA to backup using the same disk I used for the
old Mac. I have given the new MBA a different name, but when I tried to back
it up, it created a separate volume on the disk. Is there any way I can force
it to use the original Volume, and just create a new folder?
Thanks,
Donna
