Question

What is the best way to save or store a mesh's geometry - for a usage case, such as using it to restore an earlier mesh state at a later time?

Right now, my workaround is to use ObjExporter to convert it to a String, and then to reconvert it back.

Easiest way would be to instantiate a clone:

var m = Instantiate(originalMesh) as Mesh;

if you were to rewrite it with another mesh ("save a new state as previous"), can you rewrite it to the same global variable m ?

Sure, shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure you call Destroy(m) first to destroy the old one, otherwise you'll end up with a memory leak
