I tried several file systems.
I ended up with ext3, because:
ZFS is not very common in my Linux distros and for backup purposes I
can't fiddle very long in restore case
XFS haven't had a possibility to shrink (which I use from time to time).
BTRFS or GFS als AFAIK cluster filesystems and overkill here.
All others are more or less outdated...
