Hola, #DiskUtility for #macOS, my favourite utility made by Apple of all time!
Would you care to explain why you are listing, not one, not two, but THREE copies of the external APFS volume I use for nightly backups of my internal SSD drive, not to mention TWO copies of the other “- Data” part of the backup, expected for a system volume, but maybe not in duplicate?
Also, can you tell me why you refuse to EJECT/unmount the volume, no matter how many times I try?
No?
Didn’t think you would.

On an external 16 TB APFS hard drive, I apparently have three volumes that are “not mounted” and not listed anywhere. I strongly suspect that these are recovery partitions, but I have no way to tell for sure, and, of course, #macOS’s #DiskUtility fails to explain anything.
Still, it’s really entertaining to watch Disk Utility deal with their presence while updating a backup on another volume on the HD:
