Is your problem here, possible:

MIDL

sqlBackup.BackupSetDescription = "ArchiveDataBase:" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
sqlBackup.BackupSetName = "Archive"

What happens if you do this:

sqlBackup.BackupSetDescription = "ArchiveDataBase:" + DateTime.Now.ToString();
sqlBackup.BackupSetName = "Archive" + DateTime.Now.ToString()

If I understand your question correctly, then you're looking for a solution that will prevent newer backups from overwriting older backups. Two possibilities occur to me:

1) Make the date and time part of the filename that the database is backed up to.
For example:

C#

string backupFilename = databaseName + " [" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss") + "].bak");
BackupDeviceItem deviceItem = new BackupDeviceItem(backupFilename, DeviceType.File);

2) After each backup, move the finished .bak file to a different location, and/or rename it, so that by the time the next backup is created the original file is no longer present with the original filename. I'd prefer option 1 though.
