Backup to Telnyx Storage

Backup and restore your OpenClaw workspace to Telnyx Storage (S3-compatible).

Setup (One-Time)

# 1. Install Telnyx CLI (if not already)
npm install -g @telnyx/api-cli

# 2. Authenticate
telnyx auth setup

That's it. No boto3, no AWS credentials, no environment variables.

# Restore to different location
./restore.sh latest my-bucket ~/restored-workspace

What Gets Backed Up

  • AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md, TOOLS.md
  • MEMORY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, GUARDRAILS.md
  • memory/, knowledge/, scripts/

Scheduling

Automatic backups every 30 minutes:

crontab -e
# Add:
*/30 * * * * ~/skills/backup-to-telnyx-storage/backup.sh >> /tmp/backup.log 2>&1

Pricing

Telnyx Storage: $0.023/GB/month — typical workspace costs pennies.

Legacy Python Script

The original backup.py using boto3 is still available if you need AWS SDK compatibility:

pip install boto3
export TELNYX_API_KEY=KEYxxxxx
python3 backup.py

Note: The CLI-based scripts (backup.sh, list.sh, restore.sh) are recommended as they require no additional dependencies and provide full backup/list/restore functionality.
