Three-Tier Backup System

Tier 1: Local Backup (Already Created)

  • Scripts: backup_before_reset.sh, restore_after_reset.sh
  • Location: ~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup-before-reset-*/
  • Protects against: Computer reset (if user data preserved)
  • Risk: Lost if hard drive fails

Tier 2: Cloud Backup (New)

  • Scripts: backup_to_cloud.sh, restore_from_cloud.sh
  • Location: Configured cloud storage (rclone remote)
  • Protects against: Computer reset, hard drive failure
  • Setup required: Run rclone config

Tier 3: GitHub Backup (New)

  • Script: backup_to_github.sh
  • Location: GitHub repository
  • Protects against: Code loss
  • Setup required: Create GitHub repo

DigitalOcean Spaces (recommended)

  • Why: Jake already has DO account
  • Free tier: 250 GB for 10 months
  • S3-compatible: Works with rclone
  • Fast: Good upload/download speeds

What Gets Protected

Critical Data (All 3 tiers)

  • Cron jobs (6 jobs)
  • Launchd services
  • PostgreSQL database
  • Tracking data (predictions, remixes)
  • Environment files (.env)
  • Clawdbot workspace
  • Custom scripts

Code Only (Tier 3 - GitHub)

  • Remix Sniper source code
  • Scrapers, analyzers, models
  • Bot commands, cogs

How to Use

Set Up Cloud Storage (One-Time)

rclone config
# Follow prompts for DigitalOcean Spaces
# Name: do-spaces
# Type: s3 -> DigitalOcean
# API key: Get from DO dashboard
# Endpoint: https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com

Run Cloud Backup

~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup_to_cloud.sh do-spaces

Run GitHub Backup

cd ~/projects/remix-sniper
~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup_to_github.sh jakeshore remix-sniper

Before Reset Checklist

  • Run local backup: ~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup_before_reset.sh
  • Run cloud backup: ~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup_to_cloud.sh do-spaces
  • Push to GitHub: git push
  • Copy backups to external drive

After Reset Checklist

  • Install tools: brew install postgresql@16 rclone git
  • Restore from cloud: ~/.clawdbot/workspace/restore_from_cloud.sh do-spaces ...
  • Clone from GitHub: git clone https://github.com/jakeshore/remix-sniper.git ~/projects/remix-sniper
  • Run verification commands (see CLOUD-BACKUP-SYSTEM.md)

1Password Status

  • CLI version: 2.32.0
  • Account found: jakeshore98@gmail.com (FNFLSCM5NNDQ3IMHEX2WZJZAKM)
  • Issue: Desktop app needs update for CLI integration
  • Workaround: Manual setup of cloud storage (rclone config)

Notes

  • rclone is installed and ready to use
  • All backup scripts are executable
  • 1Password CLI can't authenticate due to app version issue
  • User will need to manually configure rclone with cloud provider credentials
  • Google Places API key found in environment (for future use)

Next Steps for User

  1. Update 1Password desktop app
  2. Run rclone config to set up cloud storage
  3. Run first cloud backup
  4. Create GitHub repo
  5. Test restore from cloud
