What is OpenClaw Migrator?
OpenClaw Migrator is a robust utility designed to handle the full lifecycle of agent portability. It ensures that your AI's personality, long-term memory, custom skills, and configurations are never lost when changing hardware or recovering from a system failure. By bundling global configurations, workspace data, and cron jobs into a single archive, it simplifies the complex task of maintaining state across different environments.
This tool is essential for developers using Openclaw Skills who need a reliable way to maintain hot standbys or move workflows between macOS and Linux environments. Whether you are moving to a new Mac or deploying a server-side agent, this migrator preserves the continuity of your agent's learnings and operational history.
OpenClaw Migrator Use Cases
- Migrating your AI agent setup to a new Mac or Linux server without losing historical data.
- Creating encrypted backups of agent memory and skills for disaster recovery purposes.
- Cloning a perfected agent environment to a second machine for redundant operations.
- Transferring custom scripts, knowledge bases, and cron schedules between team members.
How OpenClaw Migrator Works
- The utility scans the local environment for global configurations, agent-specific settings, and workspace directories.
- It executes a dry-run or filtered export based on user-defined flags to identify relevant files while excluding ephemeral data like logs and node modules.
- The files are bundled into a compressed archive and, by default, encrypted using AES-256-CBC for secure transport.
- Upon restoration on a new machine, the script decrypts the archive and maps the files back to the appropriate local directories.
- Post-restore hooks allow for a gateway restart to immediately apply the migrated settings and resume operations.
OpenClaw Migrator Setup
To begin using this skill, ensure you have OpenClaw installed on your source and target machines.
# Navigate to your OpenClaw directory
cd ~/openclaw
# Create a secure, encrypted backup
bash scripts/migrate.sh export
# To restore on a new machine
bash scripts/migrate.sh restore path/to/your/backup.tar.gz.enc
