Hi Alice,
It's similar. Open Task Scheduler and go to Task Scheduler
Library\Microsoft\Windows\System Restore and click on the system restore
task in the upper pane, then check conditions and settings tabs in the
lower. The default setting is for a specific time, time-out, and to run as
soon as possible if missed. These will usually cause a daily backup to be
created without user intervention.
