I'm about to format 2 200gb sata drives and one 300gb ATA for use as
recipients of all backups. This will mostly consist of rsnapshot
created files. And a number of tar.gz and other compression type
files maybe some ISO type files etc.
I'm backing up two winxp video/sound editing machines 2 gentoo boxes
including my person main desktop and laptop and my wifes winxp home
box.
I guess one consideration would be what file system works well with
remote network backup tools like rsnaphot or bacula. All of ext2 ext3
and reiserfs seem to do about the same to me.
I've seen comments many times about the virtues of reiserfs and that
is currently what most of my desktop is (except ext2 boot). That is
new for me I always used ext2 then ext3 when it became common.
I've seen nothing remarkable using reiserfs but have no real idea of
what to expect and really NO idea what would make a good backup fs.
