Related question - how can I 'revert' to the original epub

I usually do an epub to epub convert to create a 'backup' in the form of an epub_original before I use Tweak Books, Sigil etc to alter the epub. If I don't like the result of the alterations I want to get back to where I was.

At the moment I
  1. Remove <whatever>.epub
  2. Save <whatever>.original.epub to the desktop
  3. Remove <whatever>.original.epub
  4. Rename <whatever>.original_epub to <whatever>.epub on the desktop
  5. Drag/Drop <whatever>.epub from the desktop into the Book Details panel
  6. Delete <whatever>.epub from the desktop
It works, but... "There must be an easier way." methinks.
