| 129 | Now that the essential tools have been created, its time to think about
|
---|
| 130 | a backup. When every check has passed successfully in the previously
|
---|
| 131 | built packages, your temporary tools are in a good state and might be
|
---|
| 132 | backed up for later reuse. In case of fatal failures in the subsequent
|
---|
| 133 | chapters, it often turns out that removing everything and starting over
|
---|
| 134 | (more carefully) is the best option to recover. Unfortunately, all the
|
---|
| 135 | temporary tools will be removed, too. To avoid spending extra time to
|
---|
| 136 | redo something which has been built successfully, prepare a backup.
