Yes, you can use an Ext4 drive for backup purposes. Ext4 is a Linux file system, but it can be read and written to on many systems, especially if you're using a compatible backup software or tool. Just ensure that your backup software supports Ext4, or you can manually copy files to the Ext4 drive for backup.

Yes, it's just casual data. No problem at all. FAT32 will have a 4Gb maximum file size

Can you help with this problem?
