"Right now I just load card into lightroom and that's it."

If you're copying RAW images from from a card with LR, LR is copying those files somewhere on your hard drive to a folder you have selected at some point. This is "saving" one copy of your original RAW image file. Any JPEGs you're saving would be JPEGs you "Exported" from LR somewhere (again where you selected). If you can't see the thumbnails from NEF (RAW) files in Windows than you need to install the NEF codec. The thumbnails that you would see in Windows would be JPEGs that were imbedded into the NEF file at capture.

To "archive" your NEFs, you need to copy your entire folder(s) of NEF files to another hard drive, CD, etc. using software designed to do that.
