Auto Backups
UseOpenClaw automatically creates snapshots of your entire bot instance on a daily basis. These are full server-level backups — you don’t need to configure anything or remember to back up manually.
Where to Find Your Backups
From your bot’s page on the UseOpenClaw platform:
- Click the Status button (Activity icon) in the action bar
- Click View Backups
You’ll see a list of all your snapshots, each showing its type (Auto Daily, Auto Weekly, Manual, etc.) and when it was created.
How It Works
Your bot runs on its own dedicated server. Every day, UseOpenClaw takes a snapshot of the entire server — this captures everything: your bot’s configuration, conversations, memory, installed skills, and all associated data.
Backups run automatically in the background at a set hour each day. You don’t need to trigger them.
What Each Plan Includes
The number of backup snapshots retained depends on your plan:
| Free | Pro ($14.90/mo) | Max ($24.90/mo) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily backups | 1 | 3 | 7 |
| Weekly backups | — | — | 2 |
| Total snapshots kept | 1 | 3 | 9 |
- Daily backups run once per day at your configured hour
- Weekly backups (Max plan only) run every Sunday at 03:00 UTC, giving you longer-term recovery points
Retention
When a new backup is created and your plan’s snapshot limit is reached, the oldest backup is automatically removed to make room. For example, on the Free plan, each new daily backup replaces the previous one. On the Pro plan, you always have the 3 most recent daily snapshots available.
UseOpenClaw also creates automatic snapshots before certain account events — such as hibernation, trial expiry, or subscription changes. These protective snapshots ensure your data is safe even during transitions.
Restoring from a Backup
If you need to roll back your bot to a previous snapshot, reach out to the UseOpenClaw team. We’ll help you restore from any available backup.
To restore from a backup, contact us at support@useopenclaw.ai with your bot’s name and the backup you’d like to restore. Rollbacks are handled by our team to ensure a safe and complete recovery.
