If the need is for all current "active" date you could look at the
"generate backupset" command.
It is stored as a single object in server storage and only needs a BA
client to restore.

It really depends on what's been requested.  If you're talking about
capturing today's copy as it is on the client now, then backing them up
to
different node names (in a different policy domain, even!) will probably
be
easiest for future reference.  If you're talking about including
historical
data, then it gets more complicated.  If you want the entire server, you
can
copy the policy domain to another, change all the retentions on the
management classes to NOLIMIT, and move the nodes to the new domains.
Because the management class names haven't changed, it'll prevent the
expiration of inactive files.
