MyClaw Backup

Built on MyClaw.ai — the AI personal assistant platform that gives every user a full server with complete code control, networking, and tool access. This skill is part of the MyClaw.ai open skills ecosystem.

Backs up all critical OpenClaw data to a single .tar.gz archive and restores it to any OpenClaw instance. Includes a built-in HTTP server for browser-based backup management.

⚠️ Trust Boundary & Security Model

This skill handles highly sensitive data: bot tokens, API keys, channel credentials, session history. Understand the security model before use:

What each script does

• backup.sh — reads ~/.openclaw/ and writes a chmod 600 archive to disk. No network access.
• restore.sh — overwrites ~/.openclaw/ from an archive. Requires typing yes to confirm. Always run --dry-run first.
• serve.sh / server.js — starts a local HTTP server. Token is mandatory (refuses to start without one). Shell-execution endpoints (/backup, /restore) are localhost-only — remote access can only download and upload files, not trigger execution.
• schedule.sh — modifies your system crontab to run backup.sh on a schedule. Prints the cron entry before adding. Use --disable to remove.
