I agree. Ext4 is usually fine in production. Another, less feasible alternative in production, would be to convert the pool itself by moving to BackupPC 4. Since it does not use hardlinks, moving the pool is trivial. However, beyond version 4 not being stable yet, this is also less feasible since it takes the full age of your backup retention to complete. I.e. the conversion is not retroactive but uses both pools at the same time. The benefit is there would be no gaps.
