If you're using Automator 2, you can do it with the built-in variables support. Basically, you store the backup folder as a variable, then retrieve it later in the workflow to archive. A bit more here:

I have a workflow that backs up my Mail, iCal, Address Book and iChat transcripts. I would very much like to be able to compress the backup folder this workflow creates in the workflow itself.
Does anyone know of a way to do this??


Thanks a lot,
Jesse
