Simply, Im trying to restore a backup of all the gifts I had from a couple months ago.

I started off by trying to redo the gifts in game but soon realized I couldnt remember them all. I went through my backups and found one from a couple months ago that contains all the gifts I want. I have tried copying the AbsolutGifts_Data.json file over to the active server replacing the existing one that contains the gift I have just created. I then reload the plugin with oxide.reload AbsolutGifts and the plugin reloads. The AbsolutGifts_Data.json refreshes in NotePad++ and it reverts back to the gifts I just created. I thought maybe I didnt copy the right file to the right place so I tried again and got the same outcome. I tried just copying and pasteing the contents of the data file, saved it, reloaded the plugin and it reverted again. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong? Thank you in advance.
