## First Use Suggestion

When user mentions for the first time:
- "backup"
- "save my config"
- "disaster recovery"
- "export my setup"

**Suggest:**
> "I can set up automatic backups for your instance. Would you like me to enable daily backups to local storage? I can also enable git sync and credentials backup - but those are optional."

## OPT-IN Features

### Enable Credentials Backup

Credentials (tokens, API keys) are NOT backed up by default. To enable:

```bash
node skills/backup-automation/scripts/backup.js credentials-enable
```

To disable:
```bash
node skills/backup-automation/scripts/backup.js credentials-disable
```

### Enable Periodic Backup (Daily)

To automatically run backups daily at 2 AM:

```bash
# Add to crontab
crontab -e
# Add this line:
0 2 * * * cd ~/.openclaw/workspace && node skills/backup-automation/scripts/backup.js >> ~/.logs/openclaw-backup.log 2>&1
```

### Enable Git Sync

To auto-push backups to git remote:

```bash
# In your workspace
git remote add origin <your-repo-url>
# Or enable in script (edit CONFIG.gitSync = true)
```
