It's not Time Machine that stops working, it's the Time Capsule hardware. I think it's because it's HFS. I have an external SSD that is formatted as APFS and Time Machine is working fine.

Time Capsule backups continue working in macOS 26; they will stop working in macOS 27 not because of how the Time Capsule’s disk is formatted (that’s not relevant for network disks) but because the Time Capsule uses the deprecated Apple Filing Protocol for sharing.

i have external hard drive formatted with hfs and use time machine to backup before and after each beta update - and i even go further than that and backup before and after installing anything.

so far it has been working with the tahoe betas and rc

Ah, I thought it was a HFS problem. I guess it's just a Time Capsule obsolete problem. Maybe the APFS or SMB?

APFS is the filesystem that Mac disks use now. AFP is the file sharing protocol that is now deprecated and is going away in macOS 27.

Yeah, I meant to write AFP. Those Time Capsule do support SMB, but I think its SMBv1 .
