Sure, but it might be even better if it did an actual 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?
