Hammer volumes are set up to do so, once a day by default, and saved for 60 days. Snapshots happen at the PFS level and automatic snapshots are configured with 'hammer viconfig', see the cleanup section of the hammer(8) manpage for details. These snapshots can be found in /var/hammer, in directories named after the matching PFS. So, if you happen to delete an important log file in /usr, chances are good you can find an older version of it in /var/hammer/usr/. Each snapshot is named by the time at which it is taken, i.e. 'snap-YYYYMMDD-HHMM'. Treat them as read-only backup volume that you can copy from at any time.
