When the backup was done, I ejected the drive and connected it back to my laptop. The iMac backed up to "Backups of (my wife's name) iMac. As soon as I did this, another hard drive icon named "Backups of (my wife's name) iMac appear on the Mac desktop along with the original drive named WD 500 GB. Then, I ejected the drive and connected it to my wife's Big Sur iMac and went through the motions of setting up the WD Drive for backups. About 150 GB was backed up in about 2 hours. With no prompting, Time Machine automatically configured the WD Drive in APFS (Case Sensitive) and then backed up the contents of my Mac. I connected the drive to my Big Sur laptop and set it up as a destination for Time Machine backups. OK, I used a 6-7 year old USB WD Passport drive which was formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
