No, you backup git by making a clone.  E.g. `git clone --bare`.
Since this leaves you with a directory, you need to then perhaps
use some sort of file combiner tool like tar or zip to produce a
single file for backup to tape.

You can incrementally update that backup clone using git push to
write into it, or you can just blow it away and recreate it each
time you make a backup.

One could also use `git bundle` to create backup file that had
everything packaged in one neat file, but this can be slightly
harder to work with since a bundle is not a git repository.
