cronie stopped logging into journalctl

Hello,

I'm running headless server with Arch Linux and I make backup to another server by using rdiff-backup in a cron job.

Everything works fine, except cronie doens't log anymore - It just stopped one week ago. Before that, I could see in journalctl this:

Jun 24 21:01:01 smecpi CROND[4030]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Jun 24 21:01:01 smecpi CROND[4029]: pam_unix(crond:session): session closed for user root
...

Jun 24 22:01:01 smecpi CROND[4045]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)

Jun 24 23:01:01 smecpi CROND[4060]: pam_unix(crond:session): session closed for user root

and of course output of my backup job:

but now there is nothing - nor info about session opening or backup log. I tried to restart cronie by systemctl, but it didn't help:

● cronie.service - Periodic Command Scheduler

Any ideas? Thank you
