You can store as many system backups as you want too. Just edit C:\Windows\Scanreg.ini

MaxBackupCopies=5

and as above just change the number to how ever many backups you want to have, I 
normally have 14.

The only problem here is when you do a Scareg /restore it won't list all 14 
dates as in my case, it only lists 6 or 7. These are stored in C:\Windows\Sysbckup\*.cab. 
So what you would have to do is start you computer up in DOS mode. Then CD C:\Windows\Sysbckup 
and do a DIR *.cab to show all your cab files. The ones you don't want to use you 
can move them to another folder temporarily with

Move rb001.cab C:\Temp or which every filename you choose. Make sure the C:\Temp 
does exist before hand.

Now if memory serves me right I think the Sysbckup is hidden so you would have to 
change the attributes to that folder before you can access it using 

Attrib C:\Windows\Sysbckup -H -S -R 

I can't remember if its just hidden or its system as well, anyway it doesn't matter 
the above command will work anyway.
