Save Game Tips on Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard
The Save Game file for the Mac Edition of Borderlands published by Feral Interactive under OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard is located in folder 'Users - username - Library - Preferences - Feral Interactive - Borderlands - SaveData' and is called 'Save0001.sav'.

To reset your Save Game, quit Borderlands first to allow it to save properly. Then go to the above folder and back up your current 'Save0001.sav' Save Game file (you may want to return to it later) before replacing it with an older one. Restart Borderlands. You will begin again at whatever stage the Save Game file was saved at.

Keep a library of these Save Games by copying each 'Save0001.sav' Save Game into it's own appropriately-named folder (so you don't need to keep renaming the file itself). Name the folder after whatever stage you have just completed so you know what's in it.

Always save your current stage into this Save Game library before reverting to a previous stage, otherwise you may have to replay everything from that point on, including the bits you didn't like so much...

This is very useful if you want to play or replay a favourite mission, Circle of Duty rounds for instance, or if you have locked up the Crimson Armory looting missions by tripping the second stage before completing the first. Then restore your most advanced playthrough stage when you want to continue your playthrough.

If you have Time Machine turned on you will already have old Save Game files, use Time Machine to restore each one to a new folder then restart Borderlands to see what stage each save is at.
