Automate Hourly n8n Workflow Backups to Google Drive with Auto Cleanup
Ensure the safety of your n8n workflows by automatically backing them up to Google Drive every hour, with an integrated cleanup process to manage storage efficiently.
This workflow automates the backup of all n8n workflows to Google Drive on an hourly basis. Each backup is stored in a uniquely named folder that includes the date and hour, ensuring easy identification and retrieval. The workflow also includes a cleanup mechanism that deletes backup folders older than a specified retention period, defaulting to 7 days, to prevent excessive storage use. This setup is ideal for n8n administrators and developers who need a reliable backup system to protect against
