Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The skill can snapshot OpenClaw state, split workspace archives, produce change summaries and restore steps, and support scheduled backups and Discord notifications. Backups may copy and push sensitive state or workspace data. Before enabling it, narrow the backup scope and exclusions, use a dedicated private repository and restricted credentials, encrypt when appropriate, and review notification content and schedules.

- Full snapshot of `~/.openclaw` - Workspace archive split into ~90MB parts + SHA256 - Rich Discord notification (summary + restore steps) - Retention of last N reports ## Files - Script: `scripts/backup.js` (cross-platform) - Reference config: `references/CONFIG.md` ## Install / Setup 1) Copy the script into your tools folder: ```bash cp scripts/backup.js ~/.openclaw/workspace/tools/openclaw-backup.js ``` 2) Configure env vars (see references/CONFIG.md): **macOS/Linux (bash/zsh):** ```bash export OPENCLAW_HOME="$HOME/.openclaw" export OPENCLAW_BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/.openclaw-backup" export BACKUP_REPO_URL="https://github.com/your/repo.git" export BACKUP_CHANNEL_ID="1234567890" export BACKUP_TZ="America/Sao_Paulo" export BACKUP_MAX_HISTORY=7 ``` **Windows (PowerShell):** ```powershell $env:OPENCLAW_HOME="$env:USERPROFILE\.openclaw" $env:OPENCLAW_BACKUP_DIR="$env:USERPROFILE\.openclaw-backup" $env:BACKUP_REPO_URL="https://github.com/your/repo.git" $env:BACKUP_CHANNEL_ID="1234567890" $env:BACKUP_TZ="America/Sao_Paulo" $env:BACKUP_MAX_HISTORY="7" ``` 3) Run once: ```bash node ~/.openclaw/workspace/tools/openclaw-backup.js ``` 4) Create cron (OpenClaw cron runs in the gateway environment): ```bash openclaw cron add --name "openclaw-backup-daily" \ --cron "0 5,10,15,20 * * *" --tz "America/Sao_Paulo" \ --exec "node ~/.openclaw/workspace/tools/openclaw-backup.js" ``` ## Restore Use the restore instructions printed in the backup notification. ## Notes - Excludes noisy session lock/deleted files for smaller diffs. - Requires `git` and `node` (>=18). - Uses `openclaw message send` for notifications (no webhook). - `scripts/openclaw-backup.sh` is legacy (Linux/macOS) and will be removed; use `backup.js`.
