Nope, sorry!

Please make sure you make backups regularly.

The reason, from a programmer’s point of view, is that MT Pro is built in a modular way: each incoming and outgoing action and each editor for an action is a separate module. So for Undo/Redo to work, we’d need to create a sort of a scripting language inside MT Pro which records the individual actions in the different modules, and which can step back and forward in the list of commands. That would be a lot of work — the scripting language would need to have hundreds of commands for all the possible user actions.

Much easier would be a sort of auto backup, which creates a backup copy every 5 minutes or so, and keeps X copies. That way you would be able to go back in 5-minute steps or so. We have that on our feature request list already.
