What is Full Backup?
The Full Backup skill provides a reliable way to safeguard your development environment within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem. It automates the creation of a complete local archive, capturing both the workspace and system configurations to ensure data persistence and easy recovery. By focusing on local storage, it offers a quick and accessible redundancy layer for developers managing their own instances.
This skill is designed to be lean and efficient, utilizing a dedicated shell script that handles the heavy lifting of file compression while respecting safe exclusion rules. It is an essential tool for anyone looking to maintain a rigorous backup regimen without relying on external cloud services.
Full Backup Use Cases
- Creating a point-in-time snapshot before performing major configuration updates.
- Manually triggering a workspace archive via a Telegram command when away from the terminal.
- Implementing a routine local data redundancy strategy for self-hosted setups.
- Safeguarding critical project files and configurations before system migrations.
How Full Backup Works
- The skill receives a trigger, such as a natural language request or the /fullbackup command via a connected bot.
- It invokes the bundled full-backup.sh wrapper script located within the skill directory.
- The script identifies the workspace and configuration directories while applying exclusions for logs and cache files.
- A compressed archive is generated and moved to the persistent backup directory at /root/.openclaw/backups.
- Upon completion, the skill provides a summary including the final archive path and the size of the generated file.
Full Backup Setup
To initiate a manual backup, you can execute the bundled wrapper script directly from your terminal:
bash /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fullbackup/scripts/full-backup.sh
No additional configuration is required as the skill is pre-configured to work within the standard directory structure of Openclaw Skills.
Full Backup Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes its output and processes data according to the following schema:
| Attribute | Specification |
|---|---|
| Backup Directory | /root/.openclaw/backups |
| Excluded Paths | System caches and log files |
| Archive Content | Workspace files and OpenClaw configuration |
| Script Path | /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fullbackup/scripts/full-backup.sh |
Full Backup Advanced Features
- Telegram Integration: Supports the /fullbackup command for remote execution.
- Optimized Archiving: Automatically excludes non-essential data like caches and logs to save space.
- Retention Policy: Built-in safety logic ensures that older archives are not deleted during new backup cycles.
- CLI Accessibility: Can be easily integrated into crontabs or other automation workflows outside of the Openclaw Skills interface.
