If we're talking about backups, along with taking actual backups I use BTRFS and use snapper to take a snapshot of my filesystem hourly, keeping 3 of the latest daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly backups. So if I did mess up something I should be able to find an appropriate backup depending on how long ago it was.

Nope. Whatever was, is no more. Without sophisticated backup software that is taking daily or hourly snapshots, after a successful save, the program almost certainly isn't saving any meaningful way to back out any changes. 

I didn't set up my backup software until after I had a catastrophic data loss.

Welcome to the club! 

I use Acronis Data backup. It takes hourly snapshots of my important folders, and stores the diffs, but it won't take an empty diff, so it's only storing changes. 

For my Linux data I do daily rsync with my backup server. The backup sends it's data to the cloud.

I'm in trouble. I really need to go back to an earlier version of my calc document. Chat gpt wasn't any help. Does anyone here know if it is possible?
