Thanks for the sympathy there.

I've purchased a copy of Second Inventory, and once the Restore feature 
is enabled it will totally suit my needs for developing on my alt, 
backing up and restoring on my main ready for release. Right now at 
least, I've managed to back up my most precious products I've ever made. 
Totally offline browsable objects and contents. I'm suitably impressed 
by the feature set. This stuff is solid gold to me.
