Question: Why does one file overwrite the other file even if they were saved as different file names?

I use Epic Editor to create dita files. Here's a problem I came across recently:

I created a concept topic and saved it as c_admin.dita. While the file is still open, I saved it as another file c_client.dita and changed the concept id. I created a totally new content for c_client.dita and saved and closed it when I finished, believing I had two concept files now.

 When I opened c_admin.dita again, I found I lost its original content---c_admin.dita has the content of c_client.dita! Even though both files have different file names and ids, their contents are exactly the same.

 Can anyone of you tell me what I did wrong? How can I restore the original contents of c_admin.dita? Or, did I lose it permanently?

 Thanks!

Maria

I moved this to the Arbortext Editor (formerly Epic Editor) area.

If no one replies here, it's worth connecting with PTC on this to see whether they've documented what is supposed to happen in this scenario. The entry point to their support site is http://www.ptc.com/support/index.htm?dd=Support.
