Sounds like you should give the backup user the org.freedesktop.udisks2.encrypted-unlock privilege for "allow_inactive" (as it won't be in an active session). See man pklocalauthority. However, the worrying part here is that in order to do this noninteractively, you need to store the cleartext passphrase at a place where the cron job can read it. What's the point of encrypting your disks when the password is on a (proverbial) sticker right next to it?
