Easy. Just restore them from your most recent backup.

First of all, it is confusing when you top-post.

Sure Linux has backup. There are free ones and for-pay ones.

FREE:

You can use the _find_ command to produce a list of files you want backed up
and pipe this list to the _cpio_ command to write it out. You can restore
all the files, or any subset of them by also using the _cpio_ command. If
you do not wish to do this manually (I do not see why anyone would), you can
put the commands into a file and have _cron_ run the script every night or
any other convenient time. I did this for years.
There are other free ways to do this.

PAY:
If you want to pay for backup software, I suggest BRU:

There are other for-pay ways to do this.
