I don't think so.

The FileStorage is logging. This means that each object that is written 
(even if it already exists) is written to teh end of the file. This is 
to support making an object larger without making objects fragmented. 
The undo functionality is really only a nice side effect of this, since 
you then can undo the saves, since the previous version is still in the 
storage.

So to make FileStorage without undo, you would have to make it 
non-logging, and then you would have to implement support for fragmented 
storage, and finally you'd probably end up rewriting the whole thing 
from scratch. ;)

I don't have any recommendations for non-logging storages, sorry.
