Clawdog Backup
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
This skill appears to do what it says—back up and restore OpenClaw files to OneDrive—but it handles sensitive agent memory/core files and can run ongoing background backups.
Install only if you intentionally want OpenClaw core files and memory backed up to OneDrive. Check the rclone remote, protect the OneDrive backup folder, start the background watcher only if continuous backup is desired, and use dry-run or a temporary target before restoring.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Your agent instructions, user profile, tool notes, and memories may be stored in OneDrive and later restored into future sessions.
The skill explicitly uploads persistent agent configuration and memory to cloud storage; this is central to the backup purpose but sensitive.
备份 OpenClaw 核心文件（SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md）和记忆层（memory/）到 OneDrive
Use this only with a trusted OneDrive/rclone setup, review what is in the backed-up files, protect the remote folder, and restore only backups you trust.
Once started, changes to core OpenClaw files can be uploaded automatically without a per-change prompt.
The documented startup command launches a background process that can continue monitoring and backing up files after the initial command returns.
nohup /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/clawdog-backup/scripts/backup-core.sh > /root/.openclaw/backup/inotify.log 2>&1 &
Start the monitor only when you want continuous backups, watch the listed log files, and know how to stop the background process or disable any cron job.
The skill can write backup files to the configured OneDrive account and download them during restore.
The script uses the user's configured rclone OneDrive remote to upload backup archives. This is expected for the skill, but it depends on existing account credentials.
ONEDRIVE="OneDrive:/备份/OpenClaw" ... rclone copy $BACKUP_DIR/temp/ $ONEDRIVE/ --progress
Verify that the rclone remote points to the intended OneDrive account and path, and prefer the least-privileged configuration available.
Restoring an old, wrong, or compromised backup could add stale memories or change future OpenClaw behavior.
The restore script can place backed-up core files and memory into the target workspace. It uses non-overwriting copy, but restored state can still affect future agent behavior.
cp -n $TEMP_DIR/*/SOUL.md $TARGET/ ... cp -rn $TEMP_DIR/*/memory/ $TARGET/
Use --dry-run first, consider restoring to a temporary target for inspection, and only restore from backups you recognize and trust.
Installation may fail or behave differently if these tools or the OneDrive remote are missing or misconfigured.
The skill documents local tool dependencies and a preconfigured OneDrive remote, while the registry requirement summary lists no required binaries or credentials. This is a setup metadata gap rather than hidden behavior.
依赖 - rclone（已配置 OneDrive） - inotify-tools（核心层实时监控） - tar
Before use, confirm rclone, inotify-tools, and tar are installed and that the OneDrive remote is configured as expected.
