OSB is definitely the recommended format. BIN is really a straight dump
of the internal data structures with no provisions for changes in the
format whatsoever. It would be fairly safe to say that BIN will break
between versions, and probably between operating systems, too.
Don't use BIN, use OSB. It's not perfect, but much better.
