File replaced on Google Drive. Any way to restore the old file?

[FL4XY]

Trying to recover two files for a friend.

 

They had two files saved in Google Drive, but when they went to backup their work, they accidentally backed up older word documents and clicked yes when prompted to replace the files as they had the same name. The files that they had saved on Drive were not saved anywhere else.

 

Is there any way I can help them restore the original files?

Lokal Backup?

Didn’t see that 

 

I don’t think there’s a way to restore the data 

for the future: always do a backup 

        raid is not a backup

Yeah, I told them to always make sure they have important files backed up moving forward. I didn't think that there would be anything I could do, but I just posted here in the off chance that Google had some type of upload history.

 

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
