 SQL 2008 R2 backup question

I have a SQL 2008 R2 backup question. When I open my Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and navigate to the SQL Server Logs, I see nightly that my databases are getting backed up at 7:00 PM every evening. I did not setup a schedule for this. I am assuming this info came across when a backup from our old sql 2000 server and restore to our new sql server happened. I do not see anyway to disable this, edit this ?? When I expand Databases and right click on a database and then properties > I see under the Backup selection when the last backup occurred with a time and date, and also under Last Database Log Backup this has None after it. There are also no jobs under the Maintenance Plans to edit. I am very new to SQL and pretty much inherited this problem. I also see errors being generated in the event viewer at the same time, with event id 57 and event id 137. 57 > The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur. 137 > The default transaction resource manager on volume \Device\000000142 encountered a non-retryable error and could not start.
I have bee looking into the event id's online but so far have not found anything relating to SQL and these events along with my backups.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Have a look at the agent and see if there is a job set up - if you restored msdb it could be there from the old system.
If not it could be that you have a backup application somewhere that is trying to execute backups.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

The only job there is syspolicy_purge_history. We do have a backup storage device which takes a snapshot of this server every 15 minutes. But the errors in event viewer are not occurring throughout the day, only at 7:00 pm nightly. I reset this "snapshot" task to not occur at 7:00 pm, I was thinking this was due to a snapshot happening the same time as these backups for each database and that is why the errors were being written to the event viewer.
