If you're looking for filesystem snapshots you may wish to investigate
ZFS: their snapshot mechanism works on entire datasets instead of
individual files.
I understand Solaris modified the GNOME file manager to provide a slider
along the bottom that could be used to show previous snapshots of the
filesystem.
There'a s nice ZFS tutorial at:

More comprehensive ZFS documentation is at: http://zfsonlinux.org/
A quick overview of the GNOME time slider:
