Hello, since I can’t backup my hard drive using CCC to an encrypted drive, I created my external drive as APFS. I backed up, and I want to encrypt the external drive to protect it. Don’t have a context menu item “encrypt” in finder, so I want to use terminal to get to it, but not sure how to start it. “sudodiskutilapfsencryptvolume disk8s5 -user maik” - ‘You must specify the Disk user when starting encryption with no existing users’. What does it mean?
