Think of them as two, totally independent systems backing up the same data.
One exception below.

Of course the one system only has data from the last two weeks so it totally
useless for getting something from January 1.  The second system is useless
for getting yesterday's files except on 4 days a year.

One place you have to be careful is in the "record" parameter.
For the archive system you probably should have record set to "no".
Then, the level 0 done for archival purposes will not influence the
daily backups.
