If I do it the other way - format the disk un-encrypted, share it as a TM destination, and add it as a destination (with encrypted backups) from one of the other Macs - it insists on re-formatting the drive when I attempt to add it a TM disk on the machine it's physically connected to. I can connect to the drive from the other Macs on the network, but attempt to add it as a Time Machine disk on the other 2 machines produces an error around not having sufficient permissions. But when I exit Sys Preferences and re-enter, the additional user I added for the disk is no longer visible. (Allow Guest user is also selected in Options.). I make the disk shared File Sharing preferences, choose to share as a time machine backup destination, and add the user of all 3 Macs with read-write. ![]() When I add the new disk in Time Machine preferences on the Mac Mini, and select to encrypt backups, it re-formats the disk in APFS (Case-sensitive, Encrypted). I would like to create encrypted backups from all 3 machines - even if they have the same password.
