Keep My Claw: Backup Service for OpenClaw Workspaces

Keep My Claw is a backup service specifically designed for OpenClaw workspaces that addresses the problem of losing agent state during reinstalls, disk issues, or machine migrations. The service encrypts all data locally before upload using your passphrase, ensuring the server never sees plaintext data.

What it backs up

• Workspace data
• Memory files
• Cron jobs
• Skills
• Credentials
• Config snapshots

How it works

The service stores encrypted snapshots in Cloudflare R2 and allows restoration to any machine with one command. It runs on a schedule via cron for automatic backups.

Setup

clawhub install keepmyclaw

After installation, tell your agent to configure backups. The skill handles scheduling, encryption, and uploads, with the first backup typically completing within minutes.

Pricing

$5/month or $19/year, covering up to 100 agents. Backups remain available for 30 days after cancellation.

Why not use existing tools?

The creator notes limitations with common alternatives:

• Git doesn't handle credentials/config well (and you probably don't want API keys in a repo)
• rsync needs a destination server and doesn't encrypt at rest
• Time Machine is local only — doesn't help with machine migrations
• None have a restore drill to verify recovery works before you need it

Keep My Claw encrypts client-side, stores remotely, and allows safe restore drills into temporary directories to verify functionality without affecting live workspaces.
