#10Basics & Safety

Backup and recovery pack for your whole bot setup

Value8/10
ProofSome evidence
LevelEveryday

Have each bot document its own job, rules, memory, skills, and routines, then save a readable rebuild document to Drive or OneDrive, excluding passwords and keys. The rebuild order is apps, bots, instructions, skills, then routines in a paused state. A monthly routine keeps it current. A related setup pushes the bot workspace to Git hourly.

Why this scoreCheap insurance against account loss or VM resets; rebuilt routines start paused. (Other: meta-maintenance of the bot setup itself.)
