Backup ReadyNas 214 to External Drive

I'd like to back up my ReadyNAS 214.  The shares have both Windows and Mac files on them.  I understand that things can go south quickly when formats mistmatch.  So, if i buy a target back up drive, which format should i use?  NTFS, MacOS, some other format?  The idea is if I have catastrophic failure on the ReadyNas 214, I'd have a back up to the backup and I could restore from that.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
