in this situation, no file can be retreived by no system (even

That's not completely true... old Vax VMS file names had also a
version number. You could have "file.ext;1", "...;2", etc, so you
could go back and retrieve an older version of the file you were
working with. Nice feature, except if the admin had limited the
number of versions to two or three... which my teacher did.

And there's a even a very limited counterpart in the Gnu tools: The "cp"
command's --backup and related options.

You can also set up rdiff-backup to periodically make incremental
snapshots of select portions of your file system.

But of course, a real backup and archive system is an important
ingredient in any data safety setup.
