The backup repository needs to have access to a sufficiently large storage volume (rule of thumb: at least twice the size of the data to be backed up) with a decent file system. Ext3/ext4, xfs, btrfs, zfs will do, file systems with limitted capabilities like NTFS, FAT, exFAT won't. Pluggable disks (USB, RDX, hotplug SATA, etc.) are completely ok. |
