I thought I should share my experience with minor customization to X-Cart.
Sure the webmaster tool is good, and you can hit the Restore button to undo/fix things.

Long story short, one should make a back up almost everything before attempting to mod something.

For example, I modded the product_details.tpl, which is located in Skin/2Columns, but many times I forgot that URL, and copied my modified version onto CommonFiles, meaning I would lose my backup.

In addition, I have a word document in which I record every mod that I ever done to the tpls, php, ini and anything else. The goal is in a case where I have to reproduce all the work I did, I know that I can without having to stress about, what I did.

Furthermore, I have a WAMP server which I use for development and then my Semi-Live Web Server which will turn into a proper store in a few months.

I am almost at the point where I will be testing my Word Document and see if I can reproduce what I did. Everything should be well documented.
