So I have made a little program in C++, that modify a file and I want after 10 days to be able to restore the file from his original format, how can I do that?

you have a file... lets see with a configuration? you made changes... and after 10 days you want to be able to restore the file to its original configuration? (this is an example, i dunno the info in your file)

If this is the case.. why dont you just maintain a copy of the original file.. and in ten days... just do whatever you like with the edited one... delete it.. rename it. move it... and copy the backup of the original as the name of the one you can edit

use a scheduled task (windows) or a cronjob (unix) to copy in the original file (saved in another location) to the production location.
