    Cannot disable backup


    A friend runs Win 7 64-bit.

    He doesn't want to use the backup utility but keeps getting prompted to insert a DVD or USB device. This is in the form of a flag that keeps appearing in the system tray.

    I tried to help by going into backup and turning off "Schedule"
    However, on reboot the flag reappears.

    What am I doing wrong?

    It seems that you have to go to the Action Centre and then disable notifications about backup.
