If memory serves, backup and restore in vista requires the RPC process to be running, which doesn't run in safe mode. Your best bet is to reinstall Vista, get it up and running in "normal" mode, then do your restore.
The automatic restore points created: - When the windows install updates - When the user installs the unsigned drivers - when the system running 24/7.. the restore point will created for every 24 hours - when the system starts after being off more than 24 hours

Vista does not come with Automated System Recovery Disks, but it does have a utility for a user to create them.
Vista has backup and restore just like XP. Open start menu and type backup and restore center.
