I dont want weird archives or anything, just to copy my filesystem to another drive.

For proper backups, you do want “weird archives” with integrity checks, versioning, deduplication and compression. Regular files cannot offer that (at least not efficiently so).

Even with btrfs “weird archives” such as Borg’s or restic’s are preferred for backups.
