File operations - backup
new backup overwrites existing one, which has the same filename (name.xnbak.ext)
so original image will be lost when multiple edits are made

Suggestion

• improve 'versioning strategy'
  in case of conflict - rename new backups to avoid old backup overwriting, eg:
  - add timestamp to filename (eg name.xnbak.YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.ext) OR
  - follow 'duplicate naming' setting (in Settings>File operations>Copy group)
