OpenClaw Complete Backup & Restore Cycle

Performs a complete OpenClaw backup, fresh installation, and restore cycle with verification and troubleshooting for reliable disaster recovery.

This skill appears to do what it says (backup → remove → reinstall → restore), but take precautions before running it: 1) Do not blindly run 'curl | bash' — inspect the installer at https://install.openclaw.ai and prefer a signed GitHub release or vendor-provided checksum. 2) Make and copy backups to a separate machine or external storage so you can recover if the restore fails. 3) Test the full cycle in a VM or staging system first, especially because the instructions use 'sudo apt' (Debian/Ubuntu specific). 4) Review the remote install script for unexpected behavior if you must run it; if you cannot verify the installer provenance, avoid executing it. Additional information that would raise confidence: a vendor homepage, signed release assets for the installer URL, or a reputable repository/maintainer identity tracing back to OpenClaw.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: openclaw-backup-mother-skill Version: 2.2.0 The skill bundle provides a workflow for backing up and reinstalling OpenClaw, which includes high-risk operations such as executing a remote script via 'curl | bash' (https://install.openclaw.ai) and using 'sudo' to remove system packages in SKILL.md. While these actions are consistent with the stated goal of a 'fresh installation,' they represent significant security risks (RCE and supply chain vulnerability) without built-in integrity checks. No clear evidence of intentional malice or data exfiltration was found.
