Backing Up Your Work

To back up your work:

Change to the directory you want to back up. For example:
```
cd /usr/mnt/designs
```
Use the tar command to back up your work either to a tape drive or to another directory as follows:
- To back up the dfLib library to a tape drive (tape_device), type the following:
```
tar -cvf /dev/tape_device dfLib
```
- To back up the dfLib library to another directory, type the following:
```
tar -cvf - dfLib | (cd /usr/mnt/backup; tar -xf -)
```

It is recommended to back up your work regularly.
