My main question is how do I backup the Time Machine backup?

I clone the data volume to another drive.

Yikes! Complicated... Sounds like you might benefit from a simple remote backup or cloud backup.

Your networked TM backups will be made to image files in a folder on your target-drive.

Files.

In a folder.

Nobody's writing about it because it's so easy that there's nothing to complain about or brag about. Make your scheduled clone/backup. Do or do not take a copy off-site. You're overthinking it.
