Which gets back to the original point. If you use format that can be more easily recovered, then having the same amount of copies, you're data is more secure.

You've probably been downvoted because it's perceived as showing off, but it is a nice setup.

I've also spend more time than I'm willing to admit with planning researching configuring and maintaining different backup strategies, and just wanted to say that I regret some of that. It's easy to become data hoarder and it's easy to spend more time on preserving it than it is actually worth. I mean, think about how much of this data is worth to people other than you, i.e. what happens to it when you die. Life's short and there are so many things that are more exciting than backups.

Don't get me wrong though. Backups are important.Just know how much exactly are they important to you.
