That might be true if you need to access Windows 98 or earlier
systems, but Microsoft's own words:-
"Before you back up your computer for the first time, you'll want to
be sure your external hard drive is formatted with the New Technology
File System (NTFS)."
The full article explains a great deal.

You really ought to try and keep all the external storage as FAT32 so
that
if you wish to use these drives on other systems as well as yours,
then it
will be possible.
NTFS doesn't allow you to do this.

Subject: [access-uk] Hard Drive, FAT32 or NTFS
Hi List.
I notice that my C Drive and one of my external hard drives is NTFS,
but
the
other external drive is FAT32.
Does this mix and match matter, or should all drives be uniform?
In case its relevant, the two NTFS drives are 80 and 400 GB in size,
whilst
the FAT32 drive is 60GB.
Thanks for any and all clarification.
