Could anyone recommend which filesystem type to use when backing up a

You might experiment with ext2fs. IIRC, FAT has two strikes against it:
owner/mode, and 4GB individual filesize limit. NTFS (built-in, or FUSE)
has its own owner/mode translation issues, such that you would liely
want
to archive files as intermediate step.
Of course, network file transfers, if you had the bandwidth, would
preclude
the need for any foreign file systems.
