How do I get off an iCloud backup pop up that has locked my ipad screen?

When I opened my ipad cover it had a pop up that said I hadn't backup my iCloud in 5 weeks and now the pop up won't go away. It acts like I am pushing the cancel button but won't go away or let me shut down. How do I get it to go away?

If you are unable to cancel or power down, try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
