Restore a file using previous copy

The Central File Share Service has “Volume Shadow Copy” enabled. Users can use this feature to restore previous version of files and folders that you accidentally modified or deleted without asking administrators to restore from system backup.

The snapshots will be taken at 07:00 and 13:30 every day. In general, 5 weeks of snapshots will be kept. You may refer to the “Restoring files from previous version ” part in the Microsoft Support KB Recover lost or deleted files.
