glad you're back safe and sound vs glad you're back

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'Glad you're back safe and sound' emphasizes the idea of returning safely. 'Glad you're back' simply expresses happiness at someone's return without specifying whether they returned safely. The choice between the two depends on the level of emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
