About Zion Scene Backup
- Tools, Systems & Learning > Development Tools & Automation
One Unity crash. One bad merge. One Ctrl+Z too far.
That's all it takes to lose hours of work - and it never happens on a quiet day. It happens at 11pm before a deadline, on the scene you haven't committed yet.
Zion Scene Backup makes that day a non-event. It runs silently in the background, taking timestamped snapshots of your open scenes on a schedule you control. When something goes wrong, restore any scene to any point - in seconds, not hours.
Why developers install it on day one of every project:
Backs up when it matters - on a timer, on Play, on compile, or when Unity loses focus. Each trigger independently toggleable.
One-click restore from a clean browser window - find the snapshot, click, done. Or restore the latest good version of a scene without even browsing.
See what changed before you restore - every backup shows its object-count and file size difference from your current scene, so you roll back to a known-good version instead of guessing.
Pin the versions that matter - protect a known good snapshot so it's never pruned, and tag or note any backup so you can find it later.
Find any backup fast - search and filter a full history by scene, tag, or date.
Smart retention keeps recent backups and prunes old ones automatically. No folder bloat, no maintenance.
Crash recovery - if Unity didn't shut down cleanly, you get a recovery prompt on next startup.
Restores are protected too - a safety backup is taken automatically before any overwrite, so even a restore can't lose work.
Editor-only - zero runtime code, zero dependencies, zero impact on your build.
Setup takes 30 seconds. Then you forget it exists - until the day it saves your project.
One recovered scene pays for this asset many times over. Most users find that day comes sooner than they'd like.
