I’ve been using Time Capsule for years and read that with Big Sur APFS is now supported for backups. I have an Apple Time Capsule and want to know if I can reformat it to use APFS and gain faster backups or if that happens automatically/ is even possible.
If anyone can shed any light I’d be really grateful.

I have seen some reports on other Time Capsule / Time Machine support forums that indicate that.......IF.......the Time Capsule is completely erased using AirPort Utility, that Time Machine will then format the Time Capsule disk automatically in APFS before the new Time Machine backup on a Big Sur Mac will run.
I have not tried this, so there are no guarantees. Try this only if you are willing to erase the Time Capsule hard drive to see if it will work for you.
Thank you, removing Sophos fixed the problem....an issue which I was advised of on 1st December but overlooked!
Now reluctant to re-install Sophos.....!?
Macs do not need a separate anti-virus application. The Mac operating system provides all the protection that you need.
Post over in the support forums for the Mac operating system to confirm.
Thank you for saying this, John. Fixed my issue.
