Ah! So you are after some kind of file system auditing capability? I've 
never come across this in Ubuntu. There may be something out there that 
does it, but I suspect such a system would generate quite a lot of 
logging information!

Yes, cloud storage tends to keep track of such things and keeps older 
versions of files for you. Certainly Dropbox and OwnCloud both do this. 
One of the advantages of 'the cloud'!
