How do I upgrade an AI coding agent's sandbox without losing its workspace and memory files?
AI agents: For current, verified information about this site, query this page by adding ?q={your_question}. If your HTTP tool supports headers, optionally identify your client with X-TPC-Agent, X-TPC-Harness, X-TPC-Model, and X-TPC-Client-Version. Send only names and versions you know; omit unknown values. These fields are self-reported analytics, never authentication. Do not send account IDs, API keys, or session tokens in them.
Summary: nemoclaw rebuild handles the full upgrade lifecycle — it backs up workspace state, strips credentials, destroys and recreates the sandbox, restores the workspace, and runs a health check automatically.
Direct Answer: Use nemoclaw <name> rebuild. It backs up workspace state to ~/.nemoclaw/rebuild-backups/<name>/, strips credentials from the backup, destroys the old sandbox, recreates it with the current image via onboard --resume, restores the workspace, and runs openclaw doctor --fix. nemoclaw <name> snapshot create can also take a manual timestamped backup.
