Final answer:

Amazon S3 allows the setup of versioning, MFA Delete, S3 Object Lock, and S3 Lifecycle Policies to recover from accidental deletes and overwrites, thus acting like a recycle bin or rollback window.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, you can set up a versioning feature on your Amazon S3 buckets to recover from deletes and overwrites. When versioning is enabled, multiple versions of an object are stored in the bucket, and you can recover a previous version at any time. Additionally, Amazon S3 offers MFA Delete capability which requires multi-factor authentication to delete an object version. For a roll-back window, you can also configure S3 Object Lock which prevents objects from being deleted or overwritten for a fixed amount of time or indefinitely. Lastly, the S3 Lifecycle Policies can be used to create rules that automatically transition old versions to less expensive storage classes or archive them to Amazon Glacier. These features help in implementing a robust backup and recovery strategy for your S3 objects.
