"About this Mac" shows almost full Macintosh HD with lots of "Backups". Has this something to do with "Versions"? What is this data?

Probably Time Machine local backups:


Local snapshots

OS X Lion lets you take the Time Machine experience with you when you’re away from your Time Capsule or backup drive. Time Machine keeps a spare copy of the files you create, modify, or delete right on your Mac. Now if you accidentally delete a file while on the road, you can recover it from a local copy.
