# Backup Automation Skill Automated backup system for OpenClaw workspaces with database, NAS, and GitHub integration. ## What It Does This skill provides automated hourly backups: - **Database backup** to SQLite - **NAS sync** via rsync - **Git commit + push** to GitHub for version control Perfect for maintaining workspace continuity and disaster recovery. ## Setup ### 1. Configure NAS Target (Optional) Edit `backup-nas.sh` to set your NAS mount point: ```bash NAS_PATH="/path/to/your/nas/backup" ``` If you don't use NAS, the script will skip that step gracefully. ### 2. Set Up Cron Job Add to your crontab for hourly backups: ```bash 0 * * * * cd /path/to/workspace && node scripts/backup-db.js; bash scripts/backup-nas.sh; git add -A && git commit -m "Hourly backup: $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %Z')" && git push origin main ``` **OR** use OpenClaw's built-in cron: ```bash openclaw cron add --schedule "0 * * * *" --task "Hourly workspace backup" --command "cd /path/to/workspace && node scripts/backup-db.js && bash scripts/backup-nas.sh && git add -A && git commit -m 'Auto backup' && git push" ``` ### 3. GitHub Authentication Ensure you have: - Git configured with your credentials - GitHub SSH key added (or HTTPS token set) - Remote origin configured: `git remote -v` ## Usage ### Manual Backup ```bash cd /path/to/your/workspace node backup-db.js bash backup-nas.sh git add -A && git commit -m "Manual backup" && git push ``` ### Check Backup Status ```bash # Check last backup commit git log --oneline -1 # Check database backup ls -lh workspace.db* # Check NAS sync ls -lh /your/nas/path/ ``` ## Files - `backup-db.js` - Node.js script for database backup - `backup-nas.sh` - Bash script for NAS rsync - `skill.json` - Skill metadata - `SKILL.md` - This file (usage guide) - `README.md` - Overview ## Requirements - **Node.js** 18+ (for backup-db.js) - **Git** (for version control) - **rsync** (for NAS sync, optional) - **GitHub** repository (for remote storage) ## Customization ### Change Backup Frequency Edit the cron schedule: - Every hour: `0 * * * *` - Every 30 min: `*/30 * * * *` - Every 6 hours: `0 */6 * * *` - Daily at 3am: `0 3 * * *` ### Add Custom Backup Logic Extend `backup-db.js` with additional backup targets: ```javascript // Add S3 sync, Dropbox upload, etc. ``` ### Backup Retention To limit backup history in Git: ```bash # Squash old commits periodically git rebase -i HEAD~100 ``` ## Troubleshooting **Backup not running:** - Check cron logs: `tail -f /var/log/cron` - Verify script permissions: `chmod +x backup-nas.sh` **Git push fails:** - Verify SSH key: `ssh -T [REDACTED_SECRET]` - Check remote: `git remote -v` **NAS sync issues:** - Test rsync manually: `rsync -av /source /destination` - Check mount: `mount | grep nas` ## Security Notes - Database backups may contain sensitive data - Ensure your GitHub repo is **private** if storing sensitive info - NAS should be on a secure network (Tailscale/VPN recommended) - Consider encryption for sensitive backups ## License MIT - Use freely, modify as needed. ## Author Created by Lance (lancelot3777) for OpenClaw workspace management.
