If you are talking external HDs, ext3/4 is foolproof, fat also will do the job limitations not withstanding

Added: Which method? Workstation, Console backup, or even affa, backupPC

journal is not needed for backup.
also ext 4 might not be supported if formate dusing a really more recent system than centos 7. so ext3 is the safe place.
