Application Configuration (Application Page Metadata) at any point of time

Content

Hi Experts,

During the course of implementation there are numerous personalization changes made to specific pages, structure etc.

And each sandbox (when published) takes you to the configuration existing at that point of time (past,present or future) and overwrites the current setup. This results in loosing a lot of setups (if an old sandbox gets published).

So we would like to know if there is a way to control/monitor this.

Also can we have a copy of metadata file (downloaded say everyday) which we may import in case any mishap occurs and restore status.
