I am not sure that you can… You can restore your system, but that will only restore your compuetrs configuration to a previous date. This will not rewrite any files which you have previously opened/saved to a new state.

What is the specific issue you are having?

Ha ha ha I feel your pain… I think we have all been there… 😃

It should have a save system like 3dmax’s auto increment save…

But unitl then my files look like.

workX  
workXX  
workXXX  
workXXXX

and your screwed…
