All OpenClaw Agents Backup

Central backup repository for OpenClaw agent state, workspace memory, skills metadata, and key runtime configuration.

Purpose

• Keep versioned snapshots of all agent workspaces.
• Preserve recovery points for rapid rollback.
• Track what changed across agents over time.
• Provide a shared continuity layer when one agent/session fails.

What gets backed up

• ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• Agent workspace core files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md, TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md, etc.)
• memory/ logs per workspace
• Skill manifests (SKILL.md files)
• Key shell scripts in workspace scripts/
• Relevant user systemd units (gateway/voice/dashboard/Jess services)

Schedule

Automated snapshot job runs multiple times per day via systemd timer (agents-backup-sync.timer).

Manual trigger:

/home/pmello/.openclaw/tools/agents_backup_sync.sh

Layout

• snapshots/<timestamp>/... — point-in-time backups
• meta/ — optional metadata/notes

Notes

• Commits are created locally first, then pushed to GitHub (best effort).
• If push fails, local snapshots and commit history are still preserved.
