Backup Strategies
1. Git-Based (Primary)
# Daily backup script
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace
git add -A
git commit -m "backup: $(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M)"
git push origin main
Pros: Version history, free, easy restore Cons: Doesn't handle large binaries well
2. Cloud Sync (Secondary)
# Rsync to cloud storage
rsync -avz ~/.openclaw/workspace/ gdrive:Backups/openclaw/
3. Local Archive
# Compressed archive
tar -czf backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz ~/.openclaw/workspace/
Automated Backup Job
{
"name": "daily-workspace-backup",
"schedule": {"kind": "cron", "expr": "0 2 * * *"},
"payload": {
"kind": "agentTurn",
"message": "Backup workspace: commit all changes, push to remote. Report status."
},
"sessionTarget": "isolated"
}
Credential Backup
# Separate encrypted backup
tar -czf - ~/.credentials/ | gpg -c > credentials-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz.gpg
Restore Procedure
- From Git:
git cloneorgit checkout - From Archive:
tar -xzf backup-xxx.tar.gz - Credentials: Decrypt GPG backup, extract to
~/.credentials/
Backup Verification
Always test backups:
# Verify git backup
git log --oneline -5
# Verify archive
tar -tzf backup-xxx.tar.gz | head
# Verify credential backup
gpg -d credentials-backup-xxx.tar.gz.gpg | tar -tz | head
Best Practices
- 3-2-1 Rule: 3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite
- Encrypt credentials — Never plaintext
- Test restores — Monthly verification
- Monitor failures — Alert on backup errors
- Document locations — Know where everything is
