I was poking around and it turned out to be exFAT. It seems FUSE can be
more than one thing, file system wise. I read a little on FUSE but it
was ages ago.

Yea, I suspect backing it up is easy enough, just make a copy. Thing
is, some phones might allow reading but writing may not be allowed so no
matter the tool, one can't restore. The biggest thing I wanted, media.
I'd like to copy my contact list to tho. May try to find it later on.

It created a single DOS partition and formatted the whole thing with
exFAT It worked so that was fine with me.

Is using the FUSE the best way or should I change to something other
method? It's rare but I try to keep it so I can access windoze type
file systems. Sometimes I need to try to recover data from a failing
hard drive or something from a windoze machine. So, when compiling a
new kernel, I always include all the windoze type file systems as well.
Actually, I enable almost all file systems if I've ever heard of them.
