remember it works incrementally, too. if ever it is a 'new' backup but not the first backup, you'll want to use the "full copy" option. you'll lose asthetic-only stuff, but stuff you may like, nonetheless. (like box scores or injury reports, news reports etc, but not the core player stats or records etc -- no worries on that stuff, it is always safe with a backup of any kind)

if you ever screw up while playing, you know you saved recently, and you are willing to lose anything between 'now' and that last time you saved -- enter task manager (ctrl-alt-del) and "End Process" ootp18.exe. you wil revert to last saved point.

e.g. i save on opening day... 2 weeks later i realize i left the pitching depth chart undone since demoting players from ST or left rotation chioce of "strict" when i wanted somethign else... i will most definitely revert in that situation. i don't care if someone on my team hit 10hr in one game, it's restarting.

anyway, that 2nd option takes a fraction of the time. and, if you keep a backup it's safe in case of a 1/10^6 chance somethign gets corrupted. (1 in million is being nice, i bet)
