i want to know if anyone can tell me how to load a saved games before the autosave cause some jackass can in my map and destroyed everything that took me 3 days to build and my games\ autosaved before i could get out any ideas
Turn off autosave in the options menu. You should always decide when your world should be saved, not some blind timer.
Once the autosave kicks in, there's nothing you can do. Whatever was saved before is gone, replaced by the autosave.
I highly recommend daily backups, switching between 2 backup devices every day. That way you have 2 different backup files to use, in case of corruption or some other catastrophe.

well that sucks i guys ill have to start over well anyway thx everyone
Heed the advice of the others before starting over... Turn the autosave right off so that you control when you save your progress. Then, remember to save your progress frequently (i.e. every 30 minutes or so while you're playing and every single time BEFORE you exit the game). However, don't use the "Exit and Save" option since it seems to have a glitch (ref. loss of inventory bug), use the "Save Game" first and then after it's done saving use the "Exit without Saving" option. You can also create a copy of your file (through your XBox Settings) on a USB drive just in case the file on your XBox becomes corrupted or you accidentally save when you didn't want to.
It's a pity the game does not have multiple save slots per world to keep different versions (only via XBox and USB/cloud storage or such).. with bugs that can corrupt your world this is a must. Was 4J ever asked for something like that?
My hopes are just that they will allow as much saveslots as you want per world when they invent creative mode .. i don't like having USB sticks hanging out of my XBox for such a simple thing like an backup because the game can corrupt its saves, that's ridiculous
I think I read that 4J are intending to introduce a means of renaming your file with this next update (or perhaps it is the one following this) with the intention of people backing up their world on the same drive by not saving over the old file everytime, but renaming it and saving it as a different file. I'm still not able to find out what the alleged file save limit is so I don't know if there would a limit on the number of world files other than perhaps the amount of space open on my hard drive. If they bring in renaming though, I'm anticipating that I could at least have 1 backup for each world on the same drive. (I currently have 1 primary world and about 5 others that I've started as an experiment). On their XBox, my friend's 3 kids collectively must have about 20 different saved worlds. I don't know if they've encountered any limit yet.

Backups are not "a little thing". They are crucial to the longterm reliability of any data based on computers. The worst developers are those who think (erroneously) that they own your data because they were generated by your copy of their game, and attempt to prevent you from copying them. Even in such a case, I find ways of making backups, if I care at all about my save files.
You cant revert saves, I wish i could too, but alas, its not possible.
