Restoration of restore points not listed anymore in the Akeeba Backup page is manual.

Start by extracting them with Akeeba eXtract Wizard and upload all files except the sql directory.

Open the SQL directory and restore the files in there following steps 3 and 4 of the emergency restoration procedure.

Please note that System Restore Points are NOT meant to be a replacement of regular, full site backups. They are there as a means to quickly restore a single extension right after an upgrade. You are encouraged to take frequent, automated full site backups. You are also encouraged to test your backups. If you rely only on System Restore Points there's a high chance that you'll have to go through this manual procedure and your site may not be fully restored to its previous state.
