I'd also like the "make an archive from backup" facility - Implemented in a similar way to restore: Select files (at a point in time if required) using either command-line or GUI - Then instead of restoring, add the files to a specified archive.

Backup sets allows us to check the box, but since they are different than a standard archive it requires us to manage things differently to accomplish the same goal. Backup sets were originally designed to provide a quick restore mechanism. One could make a set on a tape and then using the ba client restore that data on a client allowing for serverless restore.

Maybe I'm missing something in your post, but isn't that what a backup set is for?
