Good point - I hadn't thought about that. OTOH you could make two 
partitions. One for your backup of the zip files, just the size big 
enough for these files using the appropriate file system. And a second 
partition for general use with you gadgets - formatted with FAT.

Granted, this is not a solution to your original question, but there 
seems to be no solution of that type anyway.
