## Backups & migration
Download a backup at:
Export your configuration and workspace:
- `https://<your-railway-domain>/setup/export`
```bash
openclaw backup create
```
This exports your OpenClaw state + workspace so you can migrate to another host without losing config or memory.
This creates a portable backup archive you can restore on any OpenClaw host. See [Backup](/cli/backup) for details.
