How do I backup updated and deleted posts

I want an archive system where if a post is updated its previous version is archived so it can be restored. Same goes for if a recored was deleted it can also be restored by a user.

The user can see all previous updates and go back to them if they want.

I found some gems for this a while back but cant find them again now that I'm looking to implement it. I have found acts as archival but thats all. And it only works for archiving deleted records.

What other gems are out there?

I believe paper_trail will do what you want. It tracks changes in a separate table and you can traverse the changes. I have used it and it does the job.

PaperTrail

Track changes to your models, for auditing or versioning. See how a model looked at any stage in its lifecycle, revert it to any version, or restore it after it has been destroyed.
