You may be using the Sony published xperia backup software to manage your sony smartphone backups, to backup and restore your valuable data photos contacts, messages and even call logs, to avoid a disaster on phones OS. OS problems always leads to either repair android or flash OS and both will erase all the content on phone. If that happens, unfortunately, it comes in handy that you can restore a backup, after restoring all the data - messages photos videos, all will be back as it was.

A common problem you get is backing up takes time. and while it happens either power goes off on pc, or you get an emergency where you have to cancel and unplug the phone. Ok phone works and next time when you can you try to backup and boom! it doesnt let you go on saying most annoying message

Simply restart the phone and try. It should work as normal for back up :)
