The archive file is placed here (where ~ is your home directory):

~/Library/Application Support/OmniFocus/Archive.ofocus-archive

This is a courtesy backup performed by OmniFocus before you do an archive, allowing you to easily revert back to your database prior to the archive if you find that you don't like what it did.

It's location is determined by the setting you have specified in OmniFocus -> Preferences… -> General -> Backups -> Backup Location.

Hope this helps.
