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
