The OpenClaw Mistake That Wipes Your Bot's Memory (And How to Fix It)

Most people running OpenClaw bots are making one critical mistake. They run the bot on their home PC. The moment the PC sleeps — bot dies. The moment it restarts — bot loses its entire memory. Soul wiped. 5 days of programming gone. The Fix Nobody Talks About Run it on a VPS. But that's only half the solution. The other half: a SOUL backup script that saves your bot's memory every 3 hours and auto-restores it on restart. What This Looks Like # Cron job — runs every 3 hours 0 * /3 * * * cp /root/.openclaw/soul.md /root/.openclaw/soul_backup.md # Startup script — runs on every restart cp /root/.openclaw/soul_backup.md /root/.openclaw/soul.md Your bot restarts at 3am. Reads its backup. Knows exactly who it is. Carries on. Zero intervention from you.
