Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
Backup, update, and restore tool for Clawdbot environments. Covers config, workspace, and skills directories with automatic rollback when an update fails. Supports optional GPG encryption and cloud sync for backups.
Combining backup, update, and rollback in one tool means a failed update automatically reverts the environment instead of leaving it in a broken state.
When to use it
- Creating a full backup before making risky config changes
- Scheduling automatic nightly skill updates via cron
- Restoring only the workspace after a failed update
- Syncing encrypted backups to Google Drive or S3 for offsite storage
- Checking for available skill updates without applying them
