I´m not following you right now.
You can use cp command to copy over just by changing target.
For example:
cp /backuplocation/filename.extensionwhatever /targetlocation/filename2.ini
cd /usr/share/hildon-desktop
And then make backup of file in this directory
cp transitions.ini transitions.backup
i then did
cp /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.backup /home/user/MyDocs
so i now have a copy of the backup there too
i then replaced the transitions.ini with the new one
everything works fine now and the the new transitions are a big improvement but what i'm asking is what do i do with the backup if i need to revert back?

in that folder can you see all the main folders like images, audio..etc
if so then thats the right location.
(make sure you have downloaded rootsh before trying the code)
then in x-term
type sudo gainroot
press enter
then used the code from before...
cp /home/user/MyDocs/transitions.ini /usr/share/hildon-desktop/

you can
-copy orginal filename to new location and/or to new filename
-this means that you can also overwrite files.
what you did is just right but when you want to revert you just do basically same thing what you did when you overwrote orginal. Just use backed up version as source .
