Backup functionality is nearly independent from archive functionality (at least in TSM terms) - backups are created to be able to restore the last known state, i.e. the state last backup is run. Example - a Windows server with all files and applications on it plus their old copies according to backup policy. - archives are used when you have to keep a copy of the data in some state for predefined period of time. Example - same server with all reports submitted till 31 March. Reports submitted in April will not be in 31.03 archive (unless someone invents a time machine :-) and could be found in 30.04 archive only if not overwritten.
In short you can make backups without archives, archives without backups or both.
