Simple Backup

A robust backup script that:

Stages: Copies ~/clawd (workspace), ~/.clawdbot (state), and skills/.

Compresses: Creates a .tgz archive.

Encrypts: AES256 encryption using GPG (password required).

Prunes: Rotates backups (Daily/Hourly retention).

Syncs: Optionally pushes to a cloud provider via rclone.

Setup

Dependencies: Ensure rclone and gpg are installed (brew install rclone gnupg).

Password: Set the encryption password:

Env Var: export BACKUP_PASSWORD="my-secret-password"
File: ~/.clawdbot/credentials/backup.key

Cloud (Optional): Configure an rclone remote:

rclone config

Usage

Run the backup:

simple-backup

Configuration

You can override defaults with environment variables:

Variable

Default

Description

BACKUP_ROOT

~/clawd/BACKUPS

Local storage location

REMOTE_DEST

(empty)

Rclone path (e.g. gdrive:backups)

MAX_DAYS

Days to keep daily backups

HOURLY_RETENTION_HOURS

Hours to keep hourly backups
