MinIO – Versioning allows a user to retain multiple variants of an object in the same bucket. Versioning provides a mechanism to preserve, retrieve, and restore every version of every object stored in a bucket. Versioning ensures that objects remain available across a range of failures from applications to human error. Versioning is enabled at the bucket level. When enabled MinIO automatically creates a unique version ID for the object there can be multiple versions of the same object
$ ./mc mb myminio/bucket-versioning

$ ./mc version enable myminio/bucket-versioning
