Action Center "Insert Removable Media"
Hi all, Every few days I keep getting this message in the Notification area of my Desktop :-"Insert Removable Media (Important)Windows backup needs a CD\DVD or USB drive to continue"I insert a CD, Windows backs everything up, and the message disappears.Three days later same things happens again. I have a whole pile of CDs with Windows backup on it.Question: How can I stop this message from reappearing and annoying me ?I already have a System Restore point etc. do I really need the Backup CDs ?Thanks.

Try this. Go to start-> Control Panel-> System and Security-> Action Center under Maintenance scroll to backup and click turn off messages about windows backup.

Hi Shelbycan,Thanks for your response. I'm sorry,but under Maintenance, I do not see an option to turn Backup On or OFF.

Sounds like you have an automatic backup scheduled. Click the start orb and type backup Then click on back up and restore when it appears. If you have scheduled an automatic backup, you will see an option on the left hand side that you can click on to turn off schedule.

I think I may have fixed it. I had to do another backup to a CD Rom before the option to "Turn Off Backup" appeared.So far it has not asked me to "Insert Removable Media". Fingers crossed.Thanks for all your help guys.
