iirc, and i don't know if it's been mentioned yet, you can back up a game much the same way as you could in roguelikes, by copying the save directory to somewhere else. if you screw up, just drop it back into the dominions directory
The very first roguelike game I played (that was moria, and it was, '90 or '91) didn't let you do a simple copy of your savefile - the savefile included some inode/date info, or something. But someone in my school had hacked a special "moriacp" command to duplicate the "cp" command (this was Unix, before Linus Torvalds made up Linux) that mostly worked...
