Better answer: have backups. Fancy filesystems may save you if you use their features properly, but are also hell to do deep data recovery on when something does go wrong. And they are also buggier simply by being more complex.
Still, this would have been a non-issue on a ZFS system:
/var/recordings $ ll .zfs/snapshot/
total 72
drwxr-x---+ 7 root root 7 Apr 9 2019 0003/

/var/recordings $ cp .zfs/snapshot/auto-2020-11-28_00-00/recording-16679.flv recording-16679.flv
>Given that we already consider it to just be a backup, we currently don’t make any further backups of this data.
