Windows 10: Macrium Reflect Free v7.2.453 Scheduling glitch?

I have MR scheduled to do a full backup on the 1st monthly at 08:00 hours and today it created the backup successfully. The log shows it timed at 08:00:04 but 1 hour later it created a 2nd successful full backup timed at 09:00:02. This second backup is not in the schedule so the only thing I can think of is that MR "forgot" the first backup (even though it is in the Log file) or that it "thought" I had only just switched my computer ON just before 09:00 hours and missed the scheduled 08:00 "Start time". I should say that the computer had been ON all the time from 07:40 until 09:45 (well after the second backup completed) and never entered sleep mode.

This is the first time it has happened. The computer clock time is set correctly.
Is this a known MR glitch? Maybe related to the latest version of W10?
My OS is Windows 10 v1909, build 18363.476.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks in advance.
