Restore to a Point in Time You Trust

A snapshot is only useful if you know what it contains and can restore it without taking the live system down. This skill covers point in time restore for agent state: capture a snapshot that includes the records the agent depends on, verify a restore into a scratch place before touching the live one, restore to a named point rather than whatever is latest, and keep the restore path exercised so it does not rot and fail when it is finally needed.

Commands

$ openclaw command add --name "snapshot-list" --trigger "/snapshot" --source "Ops Console" --message "List the restore points and when each was taken, so a restore can be aimed at a named point rather than whatever is latest."

$ openclaw alert-rule add --name "Restore Untested" --group-by "store" --window "24h" --action "Alert when no restore into a scratch place has succeeded in a long window, which points at a restore path that is never exercised."

$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Verify Restore" --condition "snapshot.id and not snapshot.verified" --action "Restore the snapshot into a scratch place and check the records the agent depends on before the live system is touched." --approval "manual" --notify "#ops-info" --cooldown "1h"

$ openclaw runbook add --name "Snapshot Restore" --trigger "/runbook restore" --tags "advanced,ops" --steps "Capture the records the agent depends on. Verify into a scratch place first. Restore to a named point. Exercise the restore path. Keep the live system up."
