I save the archive to an external drive, which I then move off-site.

Even if you don't use the Archive function (there are good reasons no to) and want to get a snapshot of the full Backup installation and data, you can just copy the relevant folders and leave the BackupPC installation untouched. Somebody else also proposed to use a filesystem with snapshot capabilities, although I don't know if that is immune to ransomware. In any case, there is no need for moving files and a clean start.
