Archiving older backups

Post Archiving older backups 
Is there a way to archive an older backup? I upgraded my machine for Christmas, and decided to nuke and pave and install Debian amd64. Prior to doing so, I did a full backup, and have restored piecemeal...However, I have been finding one-off files over the last day or so (like various corner case config files) that I wanted to restore, so I thought it would be a good to capture an archive of that final backup, just in case. That backup is about to go away, and i wanted to capture it in an archive. I went to the web gui, but it seems only to want to backup the latest backup. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

The 'archive host' concept is just a web wrapper around
BackupPC_tarCreate/compress/split. If you run it yourself from the
command line you will have much more control over the options.
