Is a manual method enough?  You can use any backend you like, for
example:

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))

Then you can create a group nnml:backup.foobar.  Then you enter the
group nnimap:INBOX.foobar using C-u RET (shows all articles), mark all
the articles using M P a, then copy the marked articles over to the
nnml group just created using B c nnml:backup.foobar RET.

You could also move the articles instead of copying them (B m instead
of B c).  Not sure what you prefer.
