You need to save the data somewhere every time it changes. For my app I 
pickle a document class every time something changes and keep a list of 
the pickle files. A undo/redo loads the pickled class to current and 
refresh. I delete all the pickle files on program exit. It might make 
sense in your case just to save the deltas. My app is used on images 
and it was just easier to pickle everything.
