I believe you have to set recurring todos by hand---i.e., dive into the
org file and edit the SCHEDULED timestamp.

Here's one way to do it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-org-archive-done-items ()
  "Archive all items marked done in the current file"
  (interactive)
  (org-map-entries
   '(org-archive-subtree-default)
   "/!+DONE" 'file))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
