Where does System Restore keep its restore points?

[mikefisher65]

I am using Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1. I used System Restore to undo system changes to my computer. I want to undo this System Restore operation, but System Restore says there are no restore points. How then can I undo this?
