Time Machine will solely begin a very new backup if it is the primary backup to that drive/partition.

So, your selections are

  1. A separate drive or new partition on the present drive.

  2. A change of tactic [which would also require a new drive or partition] a single backup utilizing one thing like Carbon Copy Cloner

At Excessive Sierra, I would suggest the primary when you want it for a future migration, however the second if you need a stable catastrophe restoration backup.
