Suggestion for backing up data

I'm planning on doing some repartitioning of a SuSE 9.2 box that
currently has a 99% reiserfs and 1% swap setup. Although I've got about
60GB used on that hard drive, I don't want to back up everything (just
the data files) and would rather do the copying out manually. This is
because I may decide to upgrade SuSE later on.

I estimate there is about 50GB of data to backup. I want the data to be
accessible to both Windows and Linux systems. I thought of copying it
to a FAT32 hard disk, but FAT32 has a 8GB disk limit so it would be a
pain to backup all 50GB.

Any suggestions? TIA.
