Another more general option is to change the file to be read only (I am
referring to unix) in the filesystem with chmod:
chmod -w file.lyx
That way lyx will not overwrite the file.
Also possible in Windows (right click on file, select properties, check
read-only) -- but a bit draconian, since it affects all use of the file,
not just the current loading of it. (It also requires remembering to
change the rights back later, and anything that involves memory is dicey
with me.)
