ext3 is one of the most stable linux filesystems around, as this is storing backups of your other servers/pc's, I'd think that this is something you'd like to keep instead of moving to something less "stable". There's heaps of others you can choose from though, including reiserfs, jfs, xfs, etc but each has its good points and bad points depending on your requirements and even the Linux dist you're using. Personally I'd be trouble-shooting your ext3 problems and working them out, since ext3 by default offers quite a bit of data resilience.
