Productivity System Step 4: A Safe Backup Routine

On your own machine, pick one real project directory and make a dated backup of it in one command using cp -r, naming the copy something like myproject-backup. Before you run it, run ls on both the source and the destination path so you know exactly what exists. Then verify the backup by listing it and comparing against the original. Write down the exact command. Being able to make a copy you trust, in one line, before you attempt something risky, is the habit that makes everything else in this course safe to practice.
