Automate Daily Snapshots for Contabo VPS Instances
This workflow automates the process of taking daily snapshots of your VPS instances hosted on Contabo, ensuring data security by retaining only the latest backups.
The workflow is designed to run automatically at midnight every day. It checks for existing snapshots of each VPS instance and deletes older ones before creating a new snapshot. This ensures that only the most recent backups are retained, optimizing storage use and maintaining data integrity. The setup involves configuring credentials for Contabo's API access and activating the workflow in n8n.
