it appears to be Mac only requiring an HFS filesystem. The USB drives use EXFAT to freely exchange between Mac and Win.

If you use Time Machine to backup to NAS, it supports SMB.

macOS supports exFAT and FAT32 but Time Machine does not. You could use an external exFAT disk then use a command line utility like tar or rsync, both are built-in on macOS.

If you're adventurous you could include one of the utilities in a script with cron / crontab to create a backup schedule. cron / crontab are built-in on macOS.

In the a terminal window:

man cron
man crontab
man tar
man rsync
man cpio

There might be some commercially available backup applications that are cross-platform compatible using exFAT or FAT32.
