Problem
When scheduling database backups on MySQL Server (v5.1.45-community) running on Windows Server 2008, what mechanism is used to trigger the backups to run? I think it's using the Windows Task Scheduler, but I don't see any obvious tasks for these backups. SQL Server uses a separate agent service. Is there something similar in MySQL?
ADDITIONAL INFO: The backups were setup with MySQL Administrator. I'm aware of how to schedule the backups, but they're not running and I'm looking for insight as to where to begin trouble shooting.

Solution
Are you running MySQL Administrator? That includes a backup scheduling mechanism.
