I'm about to format 2 200gb sata drives and one 300gb ATA for use as |
| 2 |
recipients of all backups. This will mostly consist of rsnapshot |
| 3 |
created files. And a number of tar.gz and other compression type |
| 4 |
files maybe some ISO type files etc. |

I'm backing up two winxp video/sound editing machines 2 gentoo boxes |
| 7 |
including my person main desktop and laptop and my wifes winxp home |
| 8 |
box. |

I guess one consideration would be what file system works well with |
| 11 |
remote network backup tools like rsnaphot or bacula. All of ext2 ext3 |
| 12 |
and reiserfs seem to do about the same to me. |

I've seen comments many times about the virtues of reiserfs and that |
| 15 |
is currently what most of my desktop is (except ext2 boot). That is |
| 16 |
new for me I always used ext2 then ext3 when it became common. |

I've seen nothing remarkable using reiserfs but have no real idea of |
| 19 |
what to expect and really NO idea what would make a good backup fs. |
