I found an old archive filled with old folders on my pc.
I would like to know how to make a copy of this archive, but keeping everything intact, including their date of creation

Read man cp, and, in addition to the --recursive switch use one of:
-p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
--preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps), if possible
additional attributes: context, links, xattr, all

sudo cp -rp /home/my_home /media/backup/my_home orsudo cp -a /home/my_home /media/backup/my_home
This should do it.
-r is recursive
-p is preserve-mode
