I have windows 8.1 and I also had an update for backup and restore software. Mine was popping up all the time asking question. I figured out how to get rid of it. First when installing or updating software there is a two step process. One is to update the software. Step two is to make a usb backup, if you don't do a new usb backup after the software update the pop up will drive you crazy. Even though I already had a backup copy on a usb drive I went ahead and did another copy because your software was updated your software wants to do a backup with the new version of software that it just updated.
