I use ext2, having found that udf was not faster but less reliable. For
the speed tests I wrote a disk directory, like $HOME. If you back up few
but huge files it might pay to redo the speed test. It takes up twice
the size of the DVD on hard disk because I'm faking a "filesystem
optimisation" by copying the files over to an empty filesystem in
alphabetical order. Not best, but much better than nothing. It works
well as long as the amount of backup data isn't too big. All the scripts
are in my scriptutils package if anyone feels a use for them.
