I had just taken a backup of my world prior to messing with commands, and as I feared, I created a mess and needed to revert to my backup, but when I deleted the original and replaced it with the backup, my world has reverted itself as if I just loaded the seed for the first time! This just undid two months of work and joy my partner and I have shared together, and I don't know how to get it back! Am I completely hosed, or is there any solution? I've searched everywhere and can't really find anything. Can I mess with DB files or the manifest-###### file or level.dat or anything to get this thing to load back all that we've done? This is basically a game killer for us... it took me 5 months to convince my partner to even play MC, and now he's even more hooked than I am, and now that this has happened he'll probably never play again. I deeply hope someone can help! I'm pretty tech-savvy, so technical answers are more than welcome!
Update: I just found another backup from two weeks ago, and that does the EXACT same thing! It takes forever at "Loading Resources", and then spawns me into a fresh world without anything we've done. It also acts extremely laggy and doesn't work properly. How is that even possible?!

Ignore this reply... the edit button was missing on the OP, but now it's there, so now it's edited and this second post isn't necessary.
