Windows restore points do not help in recovering a lost directory. Only the registry and some critical files (drivers and the like) are saved.

You can use Live Upgrade with Solaris 8 and newer for a similar to windows restore points yet more powerful feature.
With OpenSolaris, there is the automatic ZFS snapshot service that would help in recovering any directory or file on the filesystems where it is enabled: How to Manage the Automatic ZFS Snapshot Service - OpenSolaris Information Resources - wikis.sun.com
