Safe
Create a quick backup of the OpenClaw home directory
Compresses the `~/.openclaw` directory into a `.tar.gz` archive you can copy elsewhere.
tar -czf openclaw-backup.tar.gz ~/.openclawBackup and restoreLinuxVPS
What it does
Compresses the `~/.openclaw` directory into a `.tar.gz` archive you can copy elsewhere.
When to use it
Use it before risky config changes, before moving to a new server, or whenever you want a simple snapshot of your current OpenClaw state.
What happens next
The terminal creates `openclaw-backup.tar.gz` in your current directory. Your original `~/.openclaw` data stays in place.
Risk warning
Safe. It does not delete source data, but the backup file may contain sensitive local state, so store it carefully.
