Automate Daily n8n Workflow Backups to Nextcloud with 7-Day Retention
This workflow automates the daily backup of n8n workflows to Nextcloud, ensuring the last 7 days of backups are retained while older ones are deleted to save space.
This workflow is designed for teams using n8n with self-hosted instances who require offsite backups via Nextcloud. It automates the backup process by scheduling daily exports of all workflows, converting them into JSON files, and uploading them to a specified directory in Nextcloud. The workflow also manages retention by keeping only the latest 7 backups and deleting older ones. Users must manually create the /N8N-Backup directory in Nextcloud before using this workflow.
