Rollback brought me too far back...

I had a game lined up for myself and my friends, but we were experiencing some issues with the character sheet we were using, so I switched to a different sheet of the same game, just with a different interface (Pokemon Tabletop Adventures switched to Tabletop United). It turned out we did not like the Tabletop United one either, so I attempted to rollback the game to get the old sheet back along with all the HTML edits I made to it. When it rolled back, it did not change the sheet, which was unfortunate enough but something I could have easily fixed. However, card decks and maps I made were rolled back to several days before, at least one more further than what I had selected. I selected March 26th, which it said would roll it back to March 26th this morning between 7am and 9am. Instead, I got rolled back to at least the 25th, if not more than that. I understand I have no real way of proving this and I probably won't be reacquiring the extensive work I had and realistically I should not have put so much trust into a new feature, but I regret to share with the community that I am not going to use this feature ever again in the future and I hope this serves as a warning to others as well. I am very disappointed, but I am trying to retain the proper internet etiquette seeing as how there is really no one to blame but myself for using the feature. But seriously... I was up late into the morning making those maps and those decks of hundreds of Pokemon. My game's been ruined and now I need to start from the ground up. It really hurts that I must do it again. I do hope it gets fixed, however. If there's one reason I'm making this anyway, it's to help root out any problems in the site to make it all the better.

Hey Relic. Sorry to hear about this unfortunate Mishap. I've brought this thread to the Devs attention, and hopefully they can get this squared away.

If you roll back a game past a point you do not want, your save states aren't overwritten. So if the 26th save state was too far, try rolling back (technically you're rolling forward, but we still technically call it a rollback) to the 27th, etc. The Save states are made between 4 and 6 AM PST, it could be that we're displaying the time of the save state that isn't reflecting local browser time zones.
I can confirm that the time shown is wrong if the backups happen at 4 and 6 AM PST. At least for me (with time zone set to GMT+9) it shown as the backups being made around 7 and 9 AM where as if I were to convert from PST it would be PM instead of AM. I would suggest giving us GMs the option to set our own times of backup, or backup according to region. It so happens that the game backs up on my most common editing time, and if I screw anything up I do not know where it will end up.
