   Probably more accurate to call it an archive. And in macOS, you can   
   click the "Manage Backups" button in the same display (in the Finder) to   
   view a list of backups, where you can right-click one in the list to   
   "Archive" it so that fuure backups of that device won't overwrite it.

   Just don't expect much compression. I just tested it with one of my   
   backups:   
      
     Uncompressed: 39.83 GB   
       Compressed: 37.93 GB
