Good to know, thanks. I now realize why I chose EXT4 3 years ago when I setup my backup disk. It works!
I tried exFAT and FAT32 earlier today and about 30 minutes into the backup it chokes and halts. I'm not sure why as I didn't investigate further but it might be certain unsupported characters in FAT32 and EXFAT.
As soon as I went back to the EXT4 format on the external disk, the backup ran flawlessly to completion. But... since Mac can't read EXT4 I'll have to run a Linux VM on my Mac to recover anything off the backup disk. The other option is an add-on driver for the Mac.
EXT4 works for me
