This did not work, in one minor way and one major one:

1) There is no option to name a backup as you create it. When I restore it I can give the league a name, although when save that it does not appear in the list of games that can be loaded; only the original name is there.

2) If I reload the saved game, I get the draft pool (in this game the point I am at is inaugural draft). If I try to restore a backup--which, as mentioned, has the same name as the save game--the draft pool is gone.

I've tried to recover it using the import action, but it finds no appropriate file. It looks in OneDrive\Documents, which is not where the game is saved. I searched for .csv files anyway; there are none.

So I searched D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Out of the Park Developments and found a number of .csv files, some in \data\stats and some in \data\databases. A few of the latter looked like they could be the right ones, but importing them did nothing.

3) While we're here, the saved_games folder in that path is empty (there shouldn't be one in Documents, and there isn't). The backups folder contains a folder with the same, original name of the save game. Does that mean there is no distinction between the save game and the backup?
