Well, if I understand the question correctly, yes. But, I don't know if you can have two save files on the same world. I just started today, but I have two saves(two worlds) xD

You can have as many save games as you've got generated worlds (I think) - I've certainly had 5 games available at the same time from the load-menu.

AFAIK, you can't have 2 save games from the same world.

With the yet-to-be-released version, you'll be able to copy your save folder and rename the .sav/dat and the folder and they'll work.  Currently, renaming files and folders does not work, so you can't have more active games than worlds.
