Automate n8n Workflow Backups to Google Drive
Manually backing up your n8n workflows is a tedious, error-prone, and often forgotten task that puts your critical automations at risk. This workflow provides a robust solution by automating the daily export of all your n8n workflows as JSON files directly to your Google Drive, guaranteeing data safety and simplifying disaster recovery.
Key Features
- Ensures consistent, scheduled daily backups of all n8n workflow definitions.
- Automatically exports each workflow as a separate, self-contained JSON file.
- Securely stores all backups in your designated Google Drive folder.
- Provides a reliable foundation for rapid disaster recovery and version control for your automations.
How It Works
This workflow is triggered either manually or on a daily schedule. It first retrieves a list of all active workflows from your n8n instance via its API. For each workflow found, it fetches its complete definition. The workflow definitions are then converted into a binary JSON format and uploaded to a specified folder in your Google Drive, named precisely after the original workflow.
