This is what we do for our UNIX systems.  We actually define each file 
system as it's own job and have things set up so if a mismatch between 
what is found on a client and what is being backed up occurs, it is 
reported and can be fixed.  You're right in that a problem with this 
approach is if your clients may be attaching storage that uses 
unexpected file system types.  For us, that isn't really a problem since 
the policy is that we back up what is "fixed" on the computer and each 
computer is set up by us as well.

hope this helps,
