This appears to indicate that the server's first idea that there was
trouble came when the client side disconnected partway through a COPY:

(0x58 = 'X' = Terminate message, implying client called PQfinish)
So it would be useful to look at what pg_restore thinks happened.
I rather suspect your cron setup sends pg_restore's output to
/dev/null ... or at least you failed to show it.
