Well, we have the chance to have a special server that has an automatic
"snapshoting" function. Basicaly we can get back in a parallel copy of the
tree any file in the state it was 12 hours ago, last day, 2 days... up to
one week ago.

So yes there is no physical archiving of file, but there is anyway an
history of modifications made by each person, we never lost anything so far
since we also have the real daily/weekly/monthly/yearly backups :)
