Ark Workspace — Backup & Restore

What is this?

Full backup of Ark's OpenClaw workspace — everything needed to restore Ark's context, memory, skills, projects, and OpenClaw system config.

Post-Clone Restore

After cloning, restore the OpenClaw config from the backup:

# 1. Set correct permissions on sensitive files
chmod 600 openclaw-system-config.json auth-*-profiles.json auth-*-state.json identity/device.json

# 2. Restore main config
cp openclaw-system-config.json ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

# 3. Restore agent configs
cp auth-main-profiles.json ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json
cp auth-main-state.json  ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-state.json
cp auth-noah-profiles.json ~/.openclaw/agents/noah/agent/auth-profiles.json
cp auth-ark-profiles.json  ~/.openclaw/agents/ark/agent/auth-profiles.json

# 4. Restore credentials & identity
cp credentials/* ~/.openclaw/credentials/
cp identity/device.json ~/.openclaw/identity/device.json

# 5. Restart gateway
openclaw gateway restart
