Tough question. People have their own preferences for particular file
systems. I have used ext2, ext3, ext4, xfs, & btrfs over the years with
BackupPC. In the end I prefer to use BTRFS. I like the
subvolume/snapshot capabilities and it works fabulous on ARM devices.
XFS has been very stable. It's still running on a legacy CentOS system
I admin with 20TB of storage. I recently converted to 4.x and it
continues to plug away. Won't be changed until the system is retired.
So from my experience there are a number of very good file systems
available; I chose one that provides capabilities I desire.
As to performance - my biggest challenge is always the network. It can
never be fast enough!
Cheers!
