Error and Cause
Due to how some systems are configured, the system may not be able to "wake" from sleep to run a backup. Depending on how the backup schedule was configured, this may result in the error being displayed.

If 'Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed' was not checked when the backup schedule was created, the scheduled backup will fail with error 0x800710E0.
