Back up OpenClaw customizations (memory, config, skills, workspace) to cloud storage via rclone, with scheduling + retention. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (Git Bash/WSL).

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Version: 1.0.15 OpenClaw backup skill โ schedules backups of your OpenClaw data (memory, config, skills, workspace) to an rclone destination (e.g. Google Drive). Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (via Git Bash or WSL).
Backs up clawd memory, ~/.openclaw (config, skills, modules, workspace, cron), clawd/scripts, and Dev/CursorApps/clawd (excluding node_modules) Runs on a schedule (macOS LaunchAgent, Linux cron, or Windows Task Scheduler) Applies local and remote retention so old backups are pruned Supports rclone (cloud) or local-only upload mode
Do not run curl ... | node (or any one-liner) without first inspecting the script. Prefer git clone and open setup.js and install-launchagent.sh (or the cron/Task Scheduler scripts) to review what they will do. Verify the code in setup.js and the scheduler installer: confirm only the expected paths are archived and that there is no unexpected network use or commands. If you are uncomfortable reviewing the scripts, do not install. Confirm repository identity: official source is github.com/vidarbrekke/ClawBackup. The version in this SKILL.md (frontmatter and "Version" line) is the source of truth; the registry may show a different revision number. Use encryption for sensitive backups: an encrypted rclone remote (e.g. rclone crypt) or encrypt archives yourself before offsite storage. After installation: inspect your LaunchAgent plist, crontab, or Task Scheduler entries, and run a test backup to a local destination first before using a cloud remote.
Each archive includes RESTORE_NOTES.txt with the correct restore targets based on the configured paths. In general: openclaw_config/skills โ ~/.openclaw/skills cursorapps_clawd/skills โ ~/Dev/CursorApps/clawd/skills (or your chosen path)
Prerequisites: Node.js, rclone configured for Google Drive, and Bash (or Git Bash on Windows). rclone is only required when upload mode is rclone. Recommended install (review first): git clone https://github.com/vidarbrekke/ClawBackup.git cd ClawBackup node setup.js Quick install (not recommended): Only use if you have already inspected the script. Do not run without review: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vidarbrekke/ClawBackup/main/setup.js | node Follow the prompts (or use node setup.js --defaults for default paths). Then run the printed test command and install the scheduler as shown.
Backups may contain sensitive data (OpenClaw config, memory, and skills). Setup can install recurring scheduler entries (LaunchAgent/cron/Task Scheduler); inspect these after install. In cloud mode, credentials come from your existing rclone config; no extra env vars are required by this repo. Prefer encrypted destinations (e.g. rclone crypt) or encrypt archives before offsite storage. Archives include checksum files (.sha256) for integrity checks.
