I just discovered "restore to previous versions" when right clicking a file on Small Business Server.

What mechanism is this feature using? Is this an automatic backup mechanism that is part of the operating system?

You've discovered the Windows Volume Copy Shadow Service. This does do some backup, but I'm not exactly sure to what extent. I would read up on the service before relying on it to restore files.
