I keep an archive of one of my drives split across some other drives, this means I don't have a full mirror of my drive, so I can't just sync the files.
I would like to leverage the database file to record the state of the target folder without storing all of the old files, then just sending the changes to a zip file (such that if I extract all the zip files generated with this, I would get the original folder) plus maybe a log file inside the zip file that notes what files have been moved or removed, so I could make a script to recreate the original drive state at any of the points in time I used ffs.
when doing this type of sync, it would use the 'to' folder as a place to put the zip file and check if there is a database file

FreeFileSync is not the tool for doing what you describe above.
