Joe Rossignol, writing for MacRumors:

As noticed by @StellaFudge, and by other users who have installed the first macOS Tahoe beta, the Time Machine page in the System Settings app now indicates that the next major version of macOS — aka macOS 27 — will no longer support the AirPort Time Capsule or any other storage drives that use the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).

When this change eventually ships, the only first-party way to backup a Mac without directly connecting a drive to it, is by sharing a drive/folder over the network from another Mac.

This can be done, of course, but is far more complicated for less tech-savvy users and means you’ll need to manage multiple Macs.

I wish Apple would just offer an elegant solution again — they never should have discontinued the Time Capsule.
