View Full Version : APFS Physical Store display

I have two external drives with many APFS containers on each one that I use for weekly backups.

With SuperDuper 3.7.5, I make a Smart Update copy to a container on the first drive, then use Smart Update again to copy the container on the first drive to a container on the second drive.

After I recently updated to Ventura 13.3, Disk Utility now displays containers copied onto the second drive with an APFS Physical Store, which none of the containers I copied to the second drive before the update show. Containers on the first drive do not show an APFS Physical Store regardless of when they were copied to.

I assume this is only a Disk Utility display issue and not a functional one?

Thank you,

David

UPDATE: A few hours after I posted my message, now the APFS Physical Store is not being displayed for either of the two containers it was before.

I think this is just Disk Utility being weird, David... you can't have an APFS volume without a physical store.
