This will make no difference.

Yes, this is related. I tried to set RemoveIPC=no, but it made no difference.
Finally I found a solution with the hint given here:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/56A52018.1030001@gmx.net
Systemd defaults to remove all IPC (including SYSV memory) when a user "fully" logs out. This seems to be happen when
runningthe cron job. It seems to be a difference if the job is running as a “normal” user or a “system” user.
So I modified my existing postgres user to be a system user
usermod -u <id below 1000> mmppostgres
an now my backup is running. I cannot remember finding such a hint in the PostgreSQL documentation. It would be worth
mentioningit.
