TMG makes changes to the data on the fly. You can not make many changes to
the data and then save the results in a different file. You have to create a
new file before you start making changes (using copy Project) and then make
changes that will be saved in the new file.

Another alternative is to backup the file each time you exit the program and
let the program date the backup automatically. That way when you start the
next time you have the backup file that was created the last time you
finished which should be the same as when you start this time.
