It's a good idea to back up (Export) your Customizations on a fairly regular basis - after you create or alter any of your Entities, Workflows, etc. This is a very simple process that can make your live easier in the future. If you are just getting started with CRM Live, go ahead and create a baseline export of the pristine system.
If you ever find yourself in need, you'll find you have the XML to restore your customizations to a prior state.
