Since Sequoia 15.1, Time Machine does not back up

This has started happening since upgrading from OS 15 to 15.1. I get a message that the backup could not be completed, as below. No idea what "files unavailable means" or why it stops when the Mac is not awake. Once awake, I resume and it backs up as normal, so what's going on?
