Yes, you can have multiple restore points in Windows. Very often, users wipe all but the last one to save space, but you can keep them on there. It is all determined by the amount of space you reserve for restore points.
What happens if you delete the system volume information folder?
The System Volume Information folder is where system restore information is held. I first came across it in Windows ME, it is found in all flavours of Windows XP and Windows Vista. It is a very underated/inderused Windows tool, I have found it to be a life saver many times, I create restore points before and after installing new drivers or software. I manually configure System Restore depending on the number and size of the hard drives on the system. Normally I will turn off System restore for non System Drives, Reserving 12% of a 250 Gig Data Drive is a lot of wasted space.
