I understand you want to create a folder on an external hard disk drive designated for Time Machine backups. Is that correct?

We may no longer do that. Time Machine backup drives are "read only".

Do not try put other files on the same drive as a TM backup even if partitioned. Do not put all your eggs in one basket as the saying goes.
