Yes, but a chmod will fail (as FAT doesn't understand that concept). The -a option implies "preserve user, group, times, permissions", all concepts that are not (or almost not, in the case of permissions) supported by FAT. Symlinks also aren't possible. The -H option is also useless, as FAT has no concept of hard links. Perhaps (if it's just for a backup) it's better to use tar to write a tar file to the FAT partition. Otherwise don't use -aH, but only use those options that are possible with FAT.
