One method, as long as you don't mind adding an additional step when backing up, is to simply use Source Control software like GitHub. The diffing won't help much here, due to compression, but it's better than nothing.

Point being, I could make 75 changes to a file this week on dropbox, and got to the dropbox site and get ANY of those revisions back as long as it's within the 30 day window of when that file was updated.

If you(generic pronoun) are not using a cloud service to save important files to, you should be.
