Revert Craft File?

[Mr. Peabody]

Today a most unfortunate mistake was committed by myself. I have accidentally overwritten a spacecraft that took a great deal of time to build. (I don't recall any confirmation request prior to the overwrite, which now strikes me as rather odd.) Is there any way to revert the file back to its previous craft? If not I will have to start over.

Hi there, @Mr. Peabody, and sorry for coming along probably a bit harsh, but no, if you don't make regular backups, there's no way to revert to an earlier version of your craft.

I strongly suggest, for the future, to backup your whole KSP folder regularly. That said, this mod seems to be made for you (you wouldn't need it if you'd make backups regularly):

If you have one in flight, you can retrieve it that way with a special tool.

Although, there is a bit of a "lifehack (I guess)" for this that I discovered by accident.

If you have a period in the craft name, it will ask for confirmation every time you try to save it.

Nevermind. I am being told I am wrong.
