I may just end up formatting the external hard drive as ext4. And because of this stipulation, I still say leave Deja Dup in the build. Going forward, this limitation with Systemback may be just the thing to turn off some dual booters or people who aren't all in with Linux on day one. I am all in, but I'm already having to think through whether I want my external hard drive to be all in. Sometimes, when helping someone move to Linux Lite, I've used it to back up their Windows data. If I format the external hard drive as ext4, I guess I could boot to a Linux Lite Live CD, access their Windows hard drive from that environment, and back it up to my ext4 hard drive.
By the way, Wirezfree, how are you backing up with Systemback? Are you creating a restore point to your external drive and including your home directory? Are you using System Copy? Or are you doing something different altogether? I'm not 100% clear on how this serves as a Deja Dup replacement.
