Unattended Install using SSH (Continued)

Hi folks. I didn’t want to post here again Unattended install using ssh key as that post was technically resolved.

I do still need help though. My backups are not being run successfully and I’m not sure how to check where the problem is at. Checking the systlog for cron entries, at the time the job is supposed to run, gets me this and I’m not sure what to make of it.

There’s nothing mentioning restic in the provided log snippet. Did cron maybe send emails with output or errors? You could also try to add a echo 'Will run restic' && prefix to your command to find out whether it’s actually run.
