I wouldn't use a time machine backup as an archive. If you have projects you can archive, simply copy them to a drive that you never use. the tm backup will require time machine software to get to the files. who knows how long the existing tm format will last.
Agree 100%. I am calling it my 'deep archive' - something I will go to if I cannot find a file on one of the bootable copies I will keep around as a single point in time.
And this is temporary during this rebuild. Once I have a working new OS, I will resume my CCC / TM / dropbox backup and archival system (my web-based database is monthly archived on optical media stored off-site).
