Hello, I have an issue with Steam Sync or Steam Cloud or what ever its called that it messed up my save, It rolled back to and old old save and I did save but I lost my design specialist and technology specialist. I lost lots of my money and fans, and I lost my Office level 4. I tried to load from a backup but It just loads the saves that Valve has on their servers. Here is an Image of my problem: http://imgur.com/E8gyWNd
You can turn off cloud within steam.
Steam > Settings > Cloud.
Load your backup, then go into the game and save.
After that you can turn on cloud again.

Heya and welcome to the forums @davidbuddy9 ! 
You may find the following information useful to prevent this from occurring again.
We are sorry to hear about your saves being lost.
Steam cloud is great for people who own one pc and use the service for reinstalling and re downloading save games (In case of Hard drive formats and new hard drives etc).
However when the Steam cloud service is used to transfer saves between 2 different machines problems will occur if the ‘Steam Cloud Sync Time’ is not completed successfully.
Both machines must have a strong internet connection during the final save procedure. The save game with the newest timestamp is always uploaded to the Steam cloud and will replace any older saves even though they may have hundreds of hours of gameplay.
This means if people use the Steam cloud service when their laptop is offline and start a new game then go online to save it. This save game will replace any existing saves.
Another factor to consider is ‘Steam Cloud Sync Time’ At the end of a session the user must allow the machine enough time to upload the saves to the cloud. This is usually very fast but if the user has low speed or intermittent internet this can take much longer. If Steam sync time is not completed, the saves will not be uploaded, or partly uploaded and may become corrupt when downloaded from the Steam cloud service.

And a great explanation from a Steam community member about exactly how the Steam Cloud works and how to get the most from it.
