Simple Backup

A robust backup script that:

Stages: Copies
```
~/clawd
```
(workspace),
```
~/.clawdbot
```
(state), and
```

Compresses: Creates a
```
.tgz
```
archive.
Encrypts: AES256 encryption using GPG (password required).
Prunes: Rotates backups (Daily/Hourly retention).
Syncs: Optionally pushes to a cloud provider via
```
rclone
```
.

Setup

Dependencies: Ensure
```
rclone
```
and
```
gpg
```
are installed (
```
brew install rclone gnupg
```
).

Password: Set the encryption password:

Env Var:

export BACKUP_PASSWORD="my-secret-password"
