Quick brief

Use Synology Backup when an OpenClaw operator needs a repeatable backup and restore workflow for workspace data, configs, cron jobs, and agent state on a Synology NAS instead of manually copying files or treating Synology as a generic storage product. The job is specific: run incremental backups over SMB or rsync, verify snapshot integrity, check status, and restore with a pre-restore safety snapshot so rollback remains possible. That scope boundary, OpenClaw-to-Synology backup and recovery operations, keeps this skill-shaped rather than a plain NAS or backup product listing.
