I use ext2, having found that udf was not faster but less reliable. For the speed tests I wrote a disk directory, like $HOME. If you back up few but huge files it might pay to redo the speed test. It takes up twice the size of the DVD on hard disk because I'm faking a "filesystem optimisation" by copying the files over to an empty filesystem in alphabetical order. Not best, but much better than nothing. It works well as long as the amount of backup data isn't too big. All the scripts are in my scriptutils package if anyone feels a use for them.
