Reboot after automatic back-up

Hello,

I have just bought a new PC with Vista, and have noticed that somehow
it rebooted by itself during the night. I have had a look at the Event
Viewer to understand why, and it seems that it is because the
automatic Windows back-up functionality runs at 3am every night. So my
questions are :

* Does it really have to reboot after the back-up ?
* If it does, where can I change the time / frequency where this back-
up runs automatically ?
* Where are these back-up files stored, and how can I prevent that it
grows quickly and eats all my hard disk ?

Thanks
Antoine
