Fsx Instant Backup or Versioning

Hi,

I'm using Fsx for windows file server, that is mounted on both Linux and windows instances. If I just deleted some file and want to retrieve it, how that can be achieved? Any versioning we can do in Fsx?

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, a service that provides fully managed native Microsoft Windows file systems, now enables end-users to easily view and restore previous versions of files using Windows shadow copies. You can restore it by going to properties of mount path and select previous version

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server provides a native backup feature that you can use to create backups of your file system. However, these backups are not instant, and you have to schedule them or create them manually.
