It does.  The source of the command is here:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/sakaiscript/sash/trunk/sash-api-shared/src/java/sash/script/bin/sitearchive.py

Pretty straight forward calls to org.sakaiproject.archive.api.ArchiveService

I doubt it's a publicly usable component (ie. checks permissions based 
on your threads session) so you'll probably want to check for isSuperUser.
