Backup silently fails if encryption key is not cached #1724

@gunqqer

Description

@gunqqer

When using cached encryption password for cron, if you reboot (or otherwise do something that clears the password cache) then miss the popup for the next scheduled backup, after that backintime will just silently fail to backup.

Expected behavior is that backintime should keep asking for a password every single time a scheduled backup runs instead of just the first.

Otherwise you might go without your backups every 6 hours because you expected them to just run or tell you that they're not, which for a backup software is kinda well, very very bad.

I am running on KDE Neon, backintime 1.4.1-1
