Simple Backup

A robust backup script that:

  1. Stages: Copies ~/clawd (workspace), ~/.clawdbot (state), and skills/.
  2. Compresses: Creates a .tgz archive.
  3. Encrypts: AES256 encryption using GPG (password required).
  4. Prunes: Rotates backups (Daily/Hourly retention).
  5. Syncs: Optionally pushes to a cloud provider via rclone.

Setup

  1. Dependencies: Ensure rclone and gpg are installed (brew install rclone gnupg).
  2. Password: Set the encryption password:
    • Env Var: export BACKUP_PASSWORD="my-secret-password"
    • File: ~/.clawdbot/credentials/backup.key
  3. Cloud (Optional): Configure an rclone remote:
    rclone config
    

Usage

Run the backup:
