Hopefully no one uses exFAT but if you do check out this KB referencing corrupted files that are possible.

Just saw this and my first thought was, “huh, I suppose that would work, but WHY???”

No idea why you would pick that FS but who knows. There are those out there. 
Same as 
Because it's the only filesystem that natively supports read/write by both macOS and Windows? And there are people “out there” that share external drives between those two systems? Yea, guilty as charged :)
And you may ask yourself why is this guy posting on a year-old thread? Well, here's the reason, as seen here:
exFAT file system is no longer supported as a backup target, please change your backup job settings accordingly.
Same here. I ran into this while testing veeam for the first time on my computer.
I run a 1 TB drive between my Mac (and friends’/partner’s Macs) and my gaming PC(and my partner’s gaming PC and any other windows device).
I’d always only use journaling FS’es for my backups. NTFS, ReFS, ext3/4 or XFS.
Non-journaling ones as e.g. (ex)FAT or ext2 are prone to error when things don’t run smoothly.
