MAYBE MY DESCRIPTION IS NOT TOTALLY EXACT:
I WROTE:The answer to my question:
iTunes keeps a "Running Backup" of your iPhone on your computer... every time that you do a backup, it "updates" the active running backup that is there... there is no provision to go back in time and restore the status as of a previous instant.
EXCEPT that when you choose to "archive" a backup, iTunes makes, timestamps, and saves the current copy, which does NOT get updated the next time that a backup is taken.
After you archive a backup, the next time that a backup is taken, a whole fresh new backup is made and the archived backup/backups remain unchanged until you choose to delete one or more of them.
LET ME TRY AGAIN:
Maybe when you choose to archive, it timestamps and saves the chosen backup,
and then creates a copy which it uses for the current running backup, or something like that...
The net result, regardless of how it does it, is that there is a copy of the archived backup there that you can restore from, plus a new running backup that is keeping track of how things are now...
