Nightly n8n backup to Dropbox
Last edited 38 days ago
This template will create a nightly backup of all your n8n workflows to a Dropbox folder. Each night, the previous night's backups are moved into an "old" folder, and renamed with the date they were taken.
Backups over a specified age are deleted. (this is disabled by default for safety until you manually enable and verify it with your own setup)
Prerequisites
- Dropbox account and credentials
- A destination folder for backups
Setup
- Update all dropbox nodes with your credential
- Edit the Schedule Trigger node with the desired time to run the backup
- Edit the DESTINATION FOLDER node to specify the path in dropbox to upload to. This should be a folder and include the trailing /
- If you want to automatically purge old backups
- Edit the PURGE DAYS node to specify the age to purge
- Enable the PURGE DAYS node, and the 3 subsequent nodes
- Enable the workflow to run on the specified schedule
