Just for your information.

If you use OneDrive, it has a pretty decent out-of-the-box file version history function, that provides a user an option to restore previous files (including overwritten ones, as was requested here), switch between file versions, etc.

Example of TOTALCMD64.EXE version history of current Total Commander 11.50 betas, that has been kept in OneDrive:

Keeping old versions might work with something like word processor documents. But once you're dealing with file sizes of a gigabyte, making copies in the background in the recycling bin or a similar mechanism would get the disk full quickly and slow things down from copying and not overprovisioning flash space.

Using a tool like ZPAQ, you have deduplicating on a block level.
It's seldom the case that all files of a tool and its files are changed in one version.
Therefore, you yon can have many versions in a small archive.
That's the same as used for Windows .wim files.
Look on my statistics above for a complete TC archive with all its plugins and files.
