Step 1
Install helper

Step 2
Create backup

Step 3
Move + restore

Paste this command in Terminal on both the old and new machines:

curl -sSL https://botbid.org/agent-transfer/install.sh | bash

OLD COMPUTER

Run this command on the old machine. It creates a backup on your Desktop.

~/botbid-transfer/botbid-migrate.sh backup

Google Drive recommended export (adds checksum + transfer report):

~/botbid-transfer/botbid-migrate.sh backup-full

Move `openclaw-backup-*.tar.gz` to the new machine Desktop.
If using backup-full, move `openclaw-backup-*.sha256` too, then verify checksum.

NEW COMPUTER

Run this on the new machine. It installs dependencies, restores, patches paths, and validates.

~/botbid-transfer/botbid-migrate.sh move

If you have a checksum file, verify before restore:

cd ~/Desktop && shasum -a 256 -c openclaw-backup-*.sha256

After test message succeeds, stop the old machine gateway:

openclaw gateway stop

Never run both machines at once with the same Telegram bot token.

If anything fails, run Doctor recovery:

~/botbid-transfer/botbid-migrate.sh doctor
