MacOS Sonoma.
Disk 1 256GB internal NVMe
Disk 2 256GB external GPT APFS Time Machine
Disk 3 256GB external GPT ExFat

How to copy the time machine file from Disk 2 to disk 3?
When I try to copy the backup file, it says I cannot.
I want to copy the 1 time machine file, not the individual files beneath it, I can already do that, and I don't want to copy individual files.
The Mac and 2 disks are new and owned by me, they have not had any other owners or users.
I only want to use Exfat on destination disk 3, I do not want to use any other filesystem, thank you.

Hello,

Sorry for the delayed response.

Are you trying to copy/create a backup of Time Machine, or move it completely to the 3rd drive and use it going forward? There are specific requirements for the format/filesystem of the drive used with Time Machine and I don't believe that ExFat is supported.
