Other authorities claim "factory format" is optimal and wear of flash
storage is a concern. A revised "format" can impose worse conditions
for wear? Does any manufacturer publish about this? What is hope?
What is truth?

All that's needed here is a reliable copy on the HDD, of the files on
the SD. If the SD fails I mount the part of the HDD, restore to
another SD and continue working. Rsync is the most effective tool
I've found. More advanced archiving is not needed.
