I'd like to make a daily backup from my machine to another. The backup is created via duply, manually triggering it works fine:

$ duply home status
Start duply v1.11.3, time is 2018-11-19 17:07:10.
Using profile '/home/ingo/.duply/home'.

Yet when I put that very same command in crontab, it results in an error:

Well, sure enough, so I created and installed an ssh - key which has password on the remote machine - and removed the other keys, so that there is only that one chance to login to archivius (and I double-checked as of this answer and the 2nd one there, too). But that didn't seem to have any effect on this problem. What am I missing, what do I overlook?

From my personal crontab:

crontab -l
