I dont think this is the case. I use time machine to backup to a Ubuntu server's ZFS share. Time machine creates a folder for each machine [my first machine.sparsebundle], etc. I can navigate to the "sparsebundle" directory under linux and it is not an image. Works just fine. Edit: this is what is inside "mymachine.sparsebundle" 252G ./bands 35M ./mapped 252G .

That .sparsebundle folder is a sparse disk image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_image What you're seeing is the raw storage for that disk image. If you copied the whole thing to a Mac (or anything that understands MacOS disk images) you could mount it then you'd see the actual files. The filesystem of that mounted image would be HFS+.
