putting files on the time machine drive on Monterey
The part you actually care about:
- Open Disk Utility
- Select “Show all disks” from the view menu
- Ensure the drive is formatted as APFS
- Select the “Container” inside the drive
- Click the ‘+’ icon where it says “Volume” in the top right
- Give it a name and create. a. Now those of you familiar with drive partitioning, but less with APFS volumes, this won’t create a partition. You’ll have the entire drive space available to both volumes (you can assign a minimum & maximum size to both volumes however)
The “wtf?” moment:
Time Machine backups on Monterey are weird. First of all, they show up as Finder weirdly, and you cant copy files to and from it, not even with Terminal!

In df each drive connected to your PC shows up as a seperate TimeMachine Local Snapshot mountpoint??
