Backups are not archives. Backups Store your recent data to help you in case your hardware fails.

Archives - if they existed - would be used to go back in history. Archives are not part of the iPhone ecostructure.

In addition to what sberman stated in his response to you, you could have archived backups if you were using a computer to backup your iPhone in addition to iCloud. You can archive computer backups (iTunes or Finder in macOS Catalina). This is a moot point, at this time, since you are only discussing iCloud backups. My response if just for a future reference.
