Note: In Finder, you will see a folder that corresponds to your backup drive that

includes the word “backup.” This is a protected folder that is automatically
created and where all of your backups reside. It serves no purpose for users
other than to store Time Machine backups. In fact, if you try to connect to it,
you will get a “Connection Failed” message.
