+### What’s the recommended backup strategy?
+
+Put your **agent workspace** in a **private** git repo and back it up somewhere
+private (for example GitHub private). This captures memory + AGENTS/SOUL/USER
+files, and lets you restore the assistant’s “mind” later.
+
+Do **not** commit anything under `~/.clawdbot` (credentials, sessions, tokens).
+If you need a full restore, back up both the workspace and the state directory
+separately (see the migration question above).
