he hinted at a faster way, still a bit of a workaround compared to what you seek...

before you make a major change, hit "save" ..

in the event something goes wrong, the "auto-save" directory in your xxxx.lg directory will be that snapshot when you hit "save," above. it is much smaller and faster to copy/paste to the root-xxxx.lg directory for your league.

(<game directory>\data\saved_games\..)

if there is a need to advance more than a day or 3, you may want to use the backup feature instead. even if you do advance a day, it should lop off anythign post dated relative to what you copy back over from auto-save. sometimes moving the contents of the auto-save somewhere "safer" is a good idea too... depends on what you are doing.
