Are you referring to the "Volume Shadow Copy Service"? This is not a FS
feature, it is AFAIK implemented below in the "block device layer" (this
has quite shure a different name on windows). You can do the same thing
on Linux with LVM (it was however not usable with LVM2 on my system at
the beginning of the year).

A real file system undo would however be really good to have.
