If you go to the directory where Aurora is installed, you'll find an Access database (file extension mdb).  Make a copy of that database. If you want to return to the spot of your save, rename the copy of the database back to its original nam (after renaming or deleting the original file). Good luck

No, you can rename the old db and then just switch when you want to play the old save.  Make sure to stop and start Aurora between db name changes and you should bet set

You could also download the backup utility. It automatically makes backups of the game database.
