I can't use TIME MACHINE BACKUP since the update

I try to back up my computer using Time Machine and I get:

Some of the files on your Mac cannot be backed up until Cloud Files syncing has completed.

Try again once all files have finished syncing.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

This has been the case ever since I migrated from an older Mac to a new one. Can anyone suggest something?

Wait until this files have been synced back to your Mac. When they message was issued, those files were not present on your Mac. The only copy was on your iCloud account.
