Since most work is done in a user's home
directory, system administrators often schedule these directories for
backup on a nightly basis. If the system administrator is not backing
up your home directory, it is good practice to perform a regular
nightly backup of changing data. This section describes the
process used to archive your home directory files to a tar file and
then compress it. The Figure summarizes the steps necessary to
accomplish this. The section following this one describes how to
restore the files that were backed and compressed.
