If system protection is turned on, Windows will automatically creates previous versions of files and folders that have been modified since the last restore point was made. Typically, restore points are made once a day. If you partitioned your computer hard disk or if you have more than one hard disk on your computer, you need to turn on system protection for the other partitions or disks. Previous versions are also created by Windows Backup when you back up your files.NOTE ; If you modify a file several times in one day, only the version that was current when the restore point or backup was made is saved as a previous version.

For example, to restore a previous version of a picture that’s included in the Pictures library but is stored in the My Pictures folder, right-click the My Pictures folder, and then click Restore previous versions
