Q: Where is the 'Archive' button in AirPort Utility 6.1?
Need to replicate my Time Capsule's internal disk as backup. Used to be there - now gone? How does one now back up the Time Capsule?
In an earlier version of something (OS? Utility?), I could attach a USB HDD to the TC, open AirPort Utility, select 'Disks' tab, select the 'Data' disk, and that would enable 'Archive'. Clicking 'Archive' then created a clone of the entire TC - including a complete history of the TM sparse bundle file.
Am I blind, or has some idiot decided to remove this crucial bit of functionality?
MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.4), Time Capsule, AirPort Utility 6.1

Archive is gone.. along with several other tools.. the toyland version is fine if you want toys..
Download and install 5.6 for Lion.. as you list Lion rather than ML..

There is no v5 post Lion.. but apparently people have managed to trick ML into accepting the 5.6 utility.
You have to extract the App and run it manually.

For the missing "disconnect all users" as well as archive.. !!
