OpenClaw backup with encrypted restore points.

ReClaw is an encrypted backup layer for OpenClaw operators. It uses the local OpenClaw backup flow, encrypts the archive client-side, and stores ciphertext plus operational metadata in a hosted ledger.

The result is a restore point you can find, inspect, download, decrypt, and verify without exposing readable archive contents or the backup passphrase to ReClaw.

Install the managed CLI, bootstrap the sealed vault, and capture a labeled restore point before risky changes.

curl -fsSL https://reclaw.io/install.sh | sh
reclaw backup bootstrap
reclaw backup create --label "Before risky change"

Manual restore points protect planned work. Automatic backups reduce the rollback window between planned changes.

ReClaw restore downloads, decrypts, and verifies the archive into a local path. Applying that archive back into OpenClaw depends on the restore or import command available in the operator environment.

reclaw backup list
reclaw backup show <backup-id> --decrypt-metadata
reclaw backup restore <backup-id> \
  --verify \
  --output /safe/path/openclaw-backup.tar.gz

• AI agent workspace backup for memory, instructions, skills, and workspace files.
• Broken OpenClaw auth recovery before provider, channel, gateway, or OAuth changes.
• Fresh-host and VPS migration when moving an OpenClaw install to another machine.

Use private git for workspace files you intentionally version. Use VM snapshots for whole-machine rollback. Use ReClaw when you need an OpenClaw-specific encrypted restore archive with cadence, metadata, API access, and a verification-first CLI.
