# Media Backup
Simple backup of Clawdbot inbound media to a local folder. No APIs, no OAuth - just file copy.
Works with any cloud sync service since it's just copying to a local folder.
## Setup
Set your destination folder:
```bash
export MEDIA_BACKUP_DEST="$HOME/Dropbox/Clawdbot/media"
# or
export MEDIA_BACKUP_DEST="$HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Clawdbot/media" # iCloud
# or
export MEDIA_BACKUP_DEST="$HOME/Google Drive/Clawdbot/media"
```
Or add to clawdbot config:
```json
{
"skills": {
"entries": {
"media-backup": {
"env": {
"MEDIA_BACKUP_DEST": "/path/to/your/folder"
}
}
}
}
}
```
## Usage
```bash
# Run backup
uv run skills/media-backup/scripts/backup.py
# Dry run (preview only)
uv run skills/media-backup/scripts/backup.py --dry-run
# Custom source/destination
uv run skills/media-backup/scripts/backup.py --source ~/.clawdbot/media/inbound --dest ~/Backups/media
# Check status
uv run skills/media-backup/scripts/backup.py status
```
## How It Works
1. Scans `~/.clawdbot/media/inbound/` for media files
2. Organizes by date: `YYYY-MM-DD/filename.jpg`
3. Tracks archived files by content hash (no duplicates)
4. Your cloud service syncs the folder automatically
## Cron Setup
Run hourly backup:
```
0 * * * * cd ~/clawd && uv run skills/media-backup/scripts/backup.py >> /tmp/media-backup.log 2>&1
```
Or via Clawdbot cron job with task:
```
Run media backup: uv run skills/media-backup/scripts/backup.py
If files archived, reply: 📸 Archived [N] media files
If none, reply: HEARTBEAT_OK
```
## Supported Formats
jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, heic, mp4, mov, m4v, webm
