I was thinking about using rdiff-backup to do incremental backups and ext2 type filesystem, as I don't use windows at all. Ext2 because I sometimes switch to Linux. I don't know if FFS is recognized by Linux.

If you want to access these files from Windows or some other operating system, using FAT might be reasonable, although you should probably archive your files using tar, pax, dump, etc to preserve filesystem metadata that would otherwise be lost. -- -Chuck
