I have a USB-A header on my motherboard, and I plan to put a USB stick in it and schedule nightly configuration backups to it. I plan on using some variation of the cron task found in this thread.
It would certainly be ideal if this USB stick were formatted with a file system that could be easily read on a Linux or Windows machine. I see exfat is not supported, and fat32 is ready only. ext4 may work...
If formatting the USB stick with OpenZFS is simply the best way forward here, are there any precautions I should take to avoid killing the USB stick early? (disabling scrubbing, etc)?
