What is the best practice for backing up (saving or achieving) a job?

I have a job which connects to MySQL and Oracle.

Can someone please list the steps for the best practice for backing up (saving or achieving) a job ? To reduce the amount of storage space used, I only what to save the files which are necessary to open the .zip file on another computer and run the job.

Are these the only two types of files I need to save?
jobName_0.1.item
jobName_0.1.properties.

Are these steps correct?

1. File > Export
2. General > Archive File
3. Check box next to job name
4. Browse (to location to save job)
5. Type name to call achieve file
6. Save
7. Options:
       Save in zip format
       Create directory structure for files
       Compress the contents of the file
       Finish

Hello

Are these the only two types of files I need to save?
jobName_0.1.item
jobName_0.1.properties.

It should aslo contains a project file, called talend.project.

Are these steps correct?

To export a job, simple follow steps:
1)Right click on the job name, and select "export item' option.
2)Check 'select archive file' option, browse a folder and type in a achieve file name.
3)Click on 'Finish' button.

Best regards

To ensure the jobs will run on a different computer I need to check "Export Dependencies", correct?

Yes, you are right. Check 'Export dependencies' option, it will aslo export all the dependencies, include metadata from repository and its child jobs.
