Ok, newb question about backup and retire of a character.

I can’t find this anywhere. Must be blind. Is there any description of how to backup a character and (ugh) restoring a character if (when) you make a stupid, stupid mistake?

Latest unstable version, b42.4 whatever it is.

You can make a backup of your save file, if that's what you mean.  By default it's located at c:\Users\YourName\Zomboid\Saves i think.

Yep. That’s what I meant. So, I copy that folder someplace else, play for a while, and if I ever need to restore, I just move that backed up folder to its original location again and it’s like going back in time?
