Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
Runs a bundled script that archives the OpenClaw workspace and configuration to /root/.openclaw/backups. Caches and logs are automatically excluded from the archive. Triggered via /fullbackup in Telegram or directly from the command line.
The script handles cache and log exclusions automatically, so the archive stays lean without manual filtering.
When to use it
- Backing up workspace before a major configuration change
- Creating a restore point before updating OpenClaw
- Archiving skill configurations for safekeeping
- Taking a snapshot before experimenting with new integrations
- Preserving workspace state at the end of a session
