Some backup apps aren’t yet compatible with Catalina: One of the big changes in Catalina is the way macOS runs from a read-only system volume that’s separate from the writeable data volume that stores your apps and documents.If you still need to download Mojave, Apple has a support document explaining how to get it. If you rely on 32-bit apps, you’ll need to upgrade them (which may be expensive), find alternatives (which may be pricey and comes with a learning curve), or run them in a virtual machine (see “ Moving to Catalina: Keep Your 32-Bit Mac Apps Running with Parallels,” 18 September 2019).

For an overview of what’s new, see “ No Mac Is an Island with macOS Catalina” (3 June 2019).
