Hi all. I bought a new external usb hard drive, which should mainly serve for storing backups made via systemimager. Drive is formated FAT as default and I can use it so in windows as in suse, however there is a catch with the backup I try to copy on it 
Simplified speaking the backup is the exact copy of the entire suse system, and when I try to copy it to the usb drive, it breaks, saying that it can copy file xxx to the drive. I know there are limitations like the lenght of file/folder names, depth of the folder tree and so on, so thats most probably why I can’t copy it to the FAT usb drive. So my question is: is there a way, a filesystem type, that would accept my EXT3 backup and would still be usable under windows. Thanks for help.
