As far as permissions on fat32, why not make a backup using tar. The files inside the archive will have the appropriate permissions when you extract them back to an ext2/3 fs. You can also do the same with files larger than 4gb. Yes, it may be a hassle, but if you think about it, it'll give you the best of both worlds.
