Most good backup software leaves readable copies of files on the destination drive when copying to a standard filesystem. I tend to use rsync-based backup strategies myself, but there's a zillion good options on Mac, Linux or PC that don't behave as you suggest.
That may be true now, but it surely wasn't several years ago when I gave up on those programs and switched to cp/xcopy. Rsync isn't really a backup program per se, it's more of a "mirroring" tool to make sure two live copies are identical. As such, it works for me for some purposes and I use it a on Unix-like environments and Windows. But for mirroring/increments rather than full backups.
