I have no strong preference for either xfs or zfs (our team is comfortable with either) was mainly just curious to hear about what folks were using and if they've run into any major issues or found particular file-system features they really like when coupled with backuppc.
Most of the files we'll be backing up are fairly small (under a few mb). We've got a handful of large databases the we'll also be backing up dumps of. Thanks !

We’ve been running backuppc for a few years and now have new server for it with 100 TB of space in hardware raid 6 array. We’re wondering what the recommended filesystem for backuppc would be on an array of this size ? Our priority is stability over performance. We’ll be running ubuntu as the operating system. Most of the hosts we’re backing up are fairly small (under 1 TB) linux servers. Right now we’re backing up about 100 servers for a total of around 20 TB. (We’re expecting the new server to last a few years).
