Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

openclaw-backup-guard

v2.1.2

Published

Auto backup, one-click restore & gateway watchdog for OpenClaw. Dual-backup rotation, scheduled auto-backup, auto-restart on crash. Windows & Linux.

Readme

openclaw-backup-guard

Auto backup, one-click restore & gateway watchdog for OpenClaw. Works on Windows and Linux.

Features

  • Dual backup rotation - Always keeps 2 backups (new + old), one fails use the other
  • Scheduled auto-backup - Windows Scheduled Task or Linux cron
  • One-click restore - Stop service, restore config, reinstall deps, restart gateway
  • Gateway watchdog - Auto-detect crash & restart gateway within minutes
  • Cross-platform - Pure Node.js, no native dependencies
  • Lightweight - Backs up config & data only (~10MB), skips node_modules

Install

openclaw plugins install openclaw-backup-guard

Quick Start

One-click full setup (backup every 4h + watchdog every 5min)

node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/setup-guard.mjs 4

Custom watchdog interval (e.g. check every 3 minutes):

node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/setup-guard.mjs 4 --watchdog 3

Manual backup

node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/backup.mjs

Restore

# Interactive (select backup)
node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/restore.mjs

# Direct restore from latest backup
node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/restore.mjs new

# Direct restore from previous backup
node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/restore.mjs old

Check gateway status

node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/watchdog.mjs

Run watchdog as foreground daemon

node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/watchdog.mjs --daemon --interval 300

Windows desktop shortcuts

node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/install-shortcuts.mjs

Remove all guards

node ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-backup-guard/scripts/setup-guard.mjs --remove

How it works

Before backup:              After backup:
 backup-new  (4h ago)        backup-new  (just created)
 backup-old  (8h ago)        backup-old  (was backup-new)

Each backup saves:

  • openclaw.json + .bak (config)
  • gateway.cmd / gateway.sh (startup script)
  • agents/ (agent sessions & data)
  • credentials/, skills/, memory/, workspace/, cron/
  • extensions/ (plugin source, excluding node_modules)

Restore flow

  1. Stop all OpenClaw processes
  2. Restore all config and data files
  3. Reinstall plugin node_modules if missing
  4. Start Gateway in background

Environment

| Variable | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-------------| | OPENCLAW_BACKUP_DIR | ~/openclaw-backups | Custom backup directory |
