I wouldn't expect filesystems that work on blu-ray to preserve the
hardlinks and perhaps some of the other attributes needed for the
backuppc files. You could use the 'archive host' setup or the
BackupPC_tarCreate command line tool to generate standard tar files
for storage on other media. You don't get any de-duplication that way
but you can perform a restore with standard tools.
