Automate Backup of Self-Hosted n8n Workflows to Google Drive with Version Control
This workflow automates the backup of workflows from a self-hosted n8n instance to Google Drive, ensuring version control and easy recovery in case of accidental modifications or deletions.
The workflow runs on a scheduled basis, fetching all workflows from your self-hosted n8n instance. It detects changes to avoid duplicate backups, creates dedicated folders in Google Drive for each workflow, and uploads new or updated workflow files in JSON format. This setup maintains a version history organized by date, allowing for easy restoration by importing backed-up JSON files into n8n.
