Q: How do I set Time Machine to remind me to backup?

I don't keep my external hard drive plugged into my computer all the time. I just plug it in every few weeks to backup my hard drive; however, I have been forgetting lately because the reminders stopped popping up on my desktop. Before I upgraded to Yosemite, the Time Machine icon on the top bar would pop with messages to remind me it's been so many days since my last backup and then an exclamation mark would be in the place of the hour and minute hand in the icon. Now, it's stopped reminding me to backup, and I can't find anything in preferences about reminders for Time Machine. Has something changed with Yosemite, or can I set a reminder to backup for Time Machine?

iMac, iOS 8.0.2
