A restore point in Windows XP/2000/98/95/Vista, is a back-up marker, created by the System Restore application, which save's data about the PC's settings, installed programs, and some user data. It is generally used when a change in the System (brought on by either installing a new program, getting a virus, or changing a setting, cause instability), then the restore point is called apon, and restore's the computer to the state it was in when the point was created.
A similar function is available in Mac OS X Leopard, called Time Machine, however it requires an external hardrive to function. It's advantages however are that it can restore any action (including the deletion of files) within it's range (it's range being dictated by the size of the External HDD) and also, it requires no user input whilst backing up, as the process is automatic.
