Everything is essentially the same except Disk Utility now "hides" the actual hard drives and only shows the Volumes on the drives. Click the Sidebar button and select "Show All Devices" after step 2. and before step 3.

Select the Time Machine disk drive in the list and continue after step 3.

When it says Erase, choose the macOS Extended (Journaled) format.
