@clawmover/cli

Command-line tool for backing up, restoring, and sanitizing OpenClaw data.

What It Does

• backs up the current OpenClaw environment to ClawMover-managed storage
• restores a backup onto a machine running OpenClaw
• supports simulated restore with --dest-path
• extracts sensitive values from openclaw.json with sanitize

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• an OpenClaw installation on the machine
• a migration created at https://clawmover.com
• a paid migration order that provides an instanceId

Installation

npm install -g @clawmover/cli
clawmover --version

How instanceId Works

instanceId is provided after you:

1. create a new migration at https://clawmover.com
2. complete payment for that migration

You need that instanceId for backup and restore.

Commands

• clawmover backup
• clawmover restore
• clawmover sanitize

Backup

Basic command:

clawmover backup --instance-id <instanceId> --data-secret-key <dataSecretKey>

Supported options:

• --instance-id <id>
• --data-secret-key <key>
• --verification-code <code>
• --non-interactive
• --yes
• --verbose
• --log-level <level>

Recommended non-interactive flow:

Step 1:

clawmover backup --instance-id <instanceId> --data-secret-key <dataSecretKey> --non-interactive --yes

This sends a verification code by email and exits.

Step 2:

clawmover backup --instance-id <instanceId> --data-secret-key <dataSecretKey> --verification-code <code> --non-interactive --yes

Restore

Basic command:

clawmover restore --instance-id <instanceId> --data-secret-key <dataSecretKey>

Supported options:

• --instance-id <id>
• --data-secret-key <key>
• --snapshot-id <id>
• --dest-path <path>
• --verification-code <code>
• --non-interactive
• --yes
• --verbose
• --log-level <level>

Prefer simulated restore first:

clawmover restore --instance-id <instanceId> --data-secret-key <dataSecretKey> --non-interactive --yes --dest-path <path>

Then resume with the verification code:

clawmover restore --instance-id <instanceId> --data-secret-key <dataSecretKey> --verification-code <code> --non-interactive --yes --dest-path <path>

Real restore omits --dest-path and may modify the local OpenClaw environment.

Sanitize

Use sanitize to extract sensitive values from an OpenClaw config and replace them with environment variable references.

Basic command:

clawmover sanitize --input <openclaw.json> --output <output-dir>

OpenClaw Detection

The CLI reads the current OpenClaw config path from:

openclaw config file

If OpenClaw is not installed or not initialized on the machine, backup and restore will fail.
