The 256 MB NAND where all applications reside uses UBIFS, succesor of JFFS2. The 32 GB eMMC uses VFAT. IIRC MicroSD cards are by default formatted as VFAT. Although one could format both with whatever the kernel supports. E.g. Ext2 or Ext3. One could make a backup with something like dd or rsync. Or an image, like you do. Something like Time Machine for Linux could also be nice, allowing one to make snapshots.

[EDIT]Time Drive.. pff Time Walk. Drive Time. All too confusing. Time Drive is inspired by something called Fly Back, and cross platform if you consider Cygwin.[/EDIT]
