I created an extra folder called OOTP patches. I do that with all my games. However, downloading the new patch overwrites it. All my other game systems have several patch files. Seems like it would be easier to go back if patch has too many problems.

Every time I download the game file (patch or original) I save and then rename the file I just downloaded to reflect the version of the game. So I can then go back to whichever version I wish to. Takes but a minute.
edit: I also back up my .lg folders before I apply any patch and name that backup to reflect the version of OOTP it was saved under.
