How are workspace variables from data files stored?

I downloaded some code that was packaged withn a data file. It loaded and ran with expected output, but I'd like to archive the code and data file for safety purposes. Once I duplicate the code and data file, what do I need to do to make sure the data file being accessed is the "new copy" and any values I save in th data file (input via matlab workspace) persist after I exit matlab?

Thanks so much

In matlab the variables in the workspace can be saved my rightclicking on them and pressing "Save as". Pretty sure you can select all at once (Ctrl + A) and save them as well
