I suppose you have SSH access to your work machine, so... maybe you should use a standard backup tool (I think any of them will allow you to ignore */_darcs/*)? If you insist to use Darcs for such purpose then I hope a) or b) may help you in some way
a) darcs get --lazy > By default Darcs will copy every patch from the original repository. This means the copy is completely independent of the original; you can operate on the new repository even when the original is inaccessible. If you expect the original repository to remain accessible, you can use --lazy to avoid copying patches until they are needed (`copy on demand'). This is particularly useful when copying a remote repository with a long history that you don't care about. b) darcs dist (this is command to run in the work machine, then you have to "get" the tarball by scp or something) > The `darcs dist' command creates a compressed archive (a `tarball') in the repository's root directory, containing the recorded state of the working tree (unrecorded changes and the _darcs directory are excluded).
