What is Backup to Telnyx Storage?
This skill provides a robust mechanism for safeguarding your AI agent's workspace. By leveraging Telnyx Storage, users can ensure their agent's identity, memory, and configuration files are securely stored off-site. It is designed to be lightweight, utilizing simple shell scripts and the Telnyx CLI to manage data without the overhead of heavy SDKs.
Whether you are managing long-term agent memory or complex soul configurations, this addition to your Openclaw Skills library ensures data persistence. It supports versioned backups, easy restoration to any location, and cost-effective cloud storage, making it an essential utility for developers maintaining persistent AI environments.
Backup to Telnyx Storage Use Cases
- Automated hourly or daily backups of AI agent memory and personality files.
- Migrating an OpenClaw workspace from one machine to another via cloud storage.
- Disaster recovery in case of local data loss or corruption of agent configurations.
- Maintaining a history of agent soul and identity versions for debugging or rollback.
How Backup to Telnyx Storage Works
- The user initiates the backup script which identifies key workspace files such as MEMORY.md and the memory folder.
- The script archives the workspace into a timestamped tar.gz file to preserve directory structures.
- Using the Telnyx CLI, the archive is uploaded to a specified S3-compatible bucket on Telnyx Storage.
- The system automatically manages retention by deleting older backups based on the MAX_BACKUPS variable.
- When restoration is needed, the restore script fetches the selected archive and extracts it back into the active workspace.
Backup to Telnyx Storage Setup
First, install the Telnyx CLI and authenticate your account:
npm install -g @telnyx/api-cli
telnyx auth setup
Once authenticated, you can run the backup script directly:
./backup.sh
To automate the process, add a cron job to your system to keep your Openclaw Skills data safe:
crontab -e
# Add this line for 30-minute intervals:
*/30 * * * * ~/skills/backup-to-telnyx-storage/backup.sh >> /tmp/backup.log 2>&1
