Hi!
Can you point to the information where it says that the information is backed up in our servers? If that's mentioned anywhere we need to clarify it.
The only reference I found is here: How do I set up Sync on my computer? and it specifically says that the information is synched across devices through our servers. If that's misleading, let me know so we can rephrase it.
Regarding storing the key in your pen-drive or any other back up system: This is the best solution and it will work smoothly after you format your computer. The key doesn't change when you format your computer so you will have no issues after all.

You need your key to access your information.
If you only store it in your computer and you erase your computer, you will lose it and you will not be able to access your Sync account UNLESS you have other device attached to your Sync account.
This is because Sync is not a back-up service and it will not cover your needs if you use it as such. Is a feature to sync your Firefox in different devices.
You need the Sync key and the user name (email) and password to be able to reconnect to your sync account after formatting your hard drive, so make sure that you backup that data.
As posted above, sync isn't meant to be used that way and it is better to backup your personal profile data locally.

In the Firefox sync information it is mentioned that my data ( bookmarks , password est will be stored in the Mozilla servers , so even if I don't have backup of data I had mentioned above , I should be able to recover from Mozilla's server in my home computer after I format my hard disk of home computer.
The other thing I want to ask you is that will my key work after I format my hard disk because though I had copied the key in my pen drive , but will that key work after formatting hard disk of my home computer, this is important.
please explain in details
