To keep backups of previous turns in a solo game:
- open your stars.ini file
- look for [Misc]
- add 'Backups=100' (the number is the number of years stored)

Now Stars! will create a folder called 'BACKUP.###' for every year. If you want to restore your turn you can copy the files back into your normal playing folder.
Note that only the .m, .x and .hst file are stored, not the .xy or .h file. The .xy file doesn't matter since that never changes, but the .h file holds all data of things you ever scanned (planets, enemy ship designs, ...) If you want to keep a backup of that as well for every year you'll need to use a batch file, I'm using one for that, let me know if you're interested.

While you have stars.ini open add under [Misc] 'NewReports=1' as well. This adds more detailed information if you do a dump of your planetary data ingame.
