After Sonoma upgrade, I can't back up to iCloud

Since upgrading to Sonoma 14.0, when I try to back-up to iCloud, or my LaCie drive, I get a message saying: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)."

It was working fine before. But I managed to upload Ok to Google docs.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm on a 2021 MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.0

I worked out the problem...

I also tried backing up onto Dropbox. And there was one file that it said it couldn't copy. It has said this for years, and I've always let it go.

I now located the file and deleted it, and I was then able to successfully back up onto iCloud and my LaCie Drive.

I have been backing up happily with this file for years, but it seems that with the new Sonoma upgrade, this file was now causing a problem.

By backing up onto Dropbox, I was able to locate the problem.

The file name was:

Blue Bird Characters.textClipping
