openclaw backup

Create a local backup archive for OpenClaw state, config, credentials, sessions, and optionally workspaces.

openclaw backup create
openclaw backup create --output ~/Backups
openclaw backup create --dry-run --json
openclaw backup create --verify
openclaw backup create --no-include-workspace
openclaw backup verify ./openclaw-backup-2026-03-09T00-00-00.000Z.tar.gz

Notes

  • The archive includes a manifest.json file with the resolved source paths and archive layout.
  • Default output is a timestamped .tar.gz archive in the current working directory.
  • If the current working directory is inside a backed-up source tree, OpenClaw falls back to your home directory for the default archive location.
  • Existing archive files are never overwritten.
  • Output paths inside the source state/workspace trees are rejected to avoid self-inclusion.
  • openclaw backup verify <archive> validates that the archive contains exactly one manifest and that every manifest-declared payload exists in the tarball.
  • openclaw backup create --verify runs that validation immediately after writing the archive.
