How many snapshots you can have on your Mac depends on the amount of diskspace used and how much has changed on your drive. You can even tell Mac OS to create a snapshot by issuing this command, again in Terminal.app: tmutil localsnapshot These “snapshots” are stored on the local SSD, and can be seen by using the tmutil command in Terminal.app: tmutil listlocalsnapshots / I know because I did this myself a few weeks ago when I woke up and my Mac wouldn’t boot. They can be used to restore a Mac to a previous state. Once those two things are true, then Mac OS will periodically create “snapshots” which are (as far as I can tell) very similar to Windows’ “restore point”. (This is the default if you have a recent version of Mac OS installed on a Mac which has an SSD.) However, some specific criteria are required before it can be used.
