I'm a complete Newbie. And have Bad English.

I git clone the NVIDIA driver, from AUR
installed.

Then launched the
sudo pacman -Syyu

To update the system and upgrade it.

After rebooting, i got stuck in this

OK Reached target Graphical Interface.
_

So, is there a way to go to the system back? T_T
or backUp the files

If you can Alt+Ctrl+F2 (or F3-F6) to get to another TTY and login, do that - otherwise boot from install media, and chroot into your installed Arch.
Then follow the NVIDIA install instructions in the Wiki, it should see you right.

By the way, your pacman command puts you at risk of getting partial updates because you force a sync of your database to the mirror you are currently using. If that mirror isn't as recent as the mirror you used during your previous update, then you will in effect downgrade the less recent packages, giving you a mix of old and new packages, which is not supported and can break your system.

Always update with

# pacman -Syu

And welcome to the Arch forums

Thanks.

Just a quick comment, considering...

A TTY is just a text terminal session, or a virtual console, where you can log in in parallel to the graphical session that didn't work for you (that is running on TTY 7). You tried it, so you got the idea

Now, the NVIDIA page is a little complex, but it should be understandable; if you have a GeForce 610 (I assume GT 610), then that gives me the driver version 390.157 on the NVIDIA download site. Also, it gives me the code NVD9 (GF119) (Fermi family) from the nouveau wiki's code names page. Further, the GeForce GT 610 is on the NVIDIA's legacy card list, so you can't use the latest driver.

Basically that means you're on an older than Kepler family, and need to have a look at the unsupported drivers, where the Fermi is listed, as needing the nvidia-390xx-dkms driver from the AUR, which seems to match the driver version from the NVIDIA download site, so it kind of comes together.

See if that makes sense to you, and always - if you don't understand something in the wiki, just ask!
People here will try to help, but they need to understand specifically what to help with
