- Time Capsules still work with existing backup stores in macOS Tahoe, but new backups cannot be started on them.
- macOS Tahoe does not support creating new backup stores on Time Capsules or local HFS+ formatted storage, requiring APFS instead.
- Apple's documentation is vague about AFP and HFS+ support, implying future macOS versions may drop AFP entirely.
- A workaround involves creating a new backup store using macOS Sequoia before switching back to Tahoe.
- The limitation in Tahoe appears intentional and undocumented, discouraging upgrades for users reliant on Time Capsules.
