Are these full layer backgrounds? If not then maybe merge with the original background, or select the generated content and background and make them a Smart Object. A good way to future proof them would be to drag to a Creative Cloud Libraries group. It makes then easy and convenient to find and use, and they live in your Adobe cloud storage, so can be retried anywhere in the world with Internet access. I sometimes think that CC Libraries are the great undiscovered secret.

Yes, if the tool you're using allows it, you can usually save the generated background as a separate image. Look for an option to export or download the background before adding other elements. If that’s not available, you might try removing the foreground manually (e.g., with a photo editor) and saving the background as a standalone file. What tool are you using?

You can save the generated background as a file; I don't see any problem with that. Could you please clarify what your doubt is?

I thank every one for answering.
OK. I don't doubt that it can be done. Just don't know how to do it.
I am makiing a directory for our church with pictures of the individuals.

I removed the background and generated a new background that I really like. I would like to use it for other pictures in the directory, but I cant figure out how to save it for future use.

The problem is that when i try to save it it saves with a white outline of the photo, so I cant use it for other people. is it possible to save the background so that it fills the entire space and then I can add another person's photo to that background. I am far from proficient at using Photoshop so I hope I am making my request clear.. I have looked at various tutorials but they don't seem to explain what I want to do. Thanks so much for any help.
