I like the idea of stamping data along with the page when deleting the page or modifying the data. The restore action could display data, page or both. Or there could be separated data restore and page restore (for this data and page could be separately stamped to different files). This sounds powerful and not too complicated (for the user). > Also, I suspect there are > some data fields you wouldn't want to restore, such as data variables > involving time for example (lastloggedin...).

I wouldn't want both a data file and a page file. > Just thinking out loud. Hate to fix something before I know what we > are wanting it to do!
