The most common format for a Time Machine backup disk is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
Time Machine also supports Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled, Encrypted), and Xsan formats.
Not seeing ExFAT there among the supported formats, are you?
