Your Backblaze EHD is just a copy of the directory (folders) structure that were on your PC which was a Windows OS. I doubt they could give you the files on a MAC formatted EHD since the backup was done with the Windows OS.
From research I did when trying to share files with a cousin that had a MAC (and couldn't get Dropbox to work on her end), I just couldn't give her an EHD with the files on it. Her MAC wouldn't be able to read them.
I would hesitate to format the EHD until I knew that the files would not be wiped out. That is what formatting an EHD does... erases everything on the EHD (at least in my experience).
You may have to find someone that could do the transfer of the files on the EHD to a different one that is formatted for a MAC.
