I'm not using the compressed zip/rar files as a means to save space-- that's just how I got them, so I'm saving them as a backup. As such, thanks @gbm for suggesting I append ".bak" to my these compression files. I'll do that.
I'd suggest not worrying about the filename and storing in your calibre library. I keep my backups on external hard drives and in the cloud since having backups on the same computer as the originals is no protection from a hard drive failing, data corruption, getting hit by ransomware or whatever other bits of paranoia I come up with in the middle of the night.
