Simple Backup

A robust backup script that:

1. Stages: Copies ~/clawd (workspace), ~/.clawdbot (state), and skills/.
2. Compresses: Creates a .tgz archive.
3. Encrypts: AES256 encryption using GPG (password required).
4. Prunes: Rotates backups (Daily/Hourly retention).
5. Syncs: Optionally pushes to a cloud provider via rclone.

Setup

1. Dependencies: Ensure rclone and gpg are installed (brew install rclone gnupg).
2. Password: Set the encryption password:
   • Env Var: export BACKUP_PASSWORD="my-secret-password"
   • File: ~/.clawdbot/credentials/backup.key
3. Cloud (Optional): Configure an rclone remote:

   rclone config
