Automate Nightly n8n Workflow Backups to Dropbox

This workflow automates the nightly backup of all your n8n workflows to a specified Dropbox folder, ensuring data safety and easy retrieval. It organizes backups by moving previous backups to an archive folder and optionally purges older backups.

The workflow is designed to run nightly, triggered by a schedule, to back up all n8n workflows to Dropbox. It moves the previous night's backups to an 'old' folder and renames them with the date for easy identification. You can configure it to automatically delete backups older than a specified number of days, though this feature is disabled by default for safety. To set up, you need to update Dropbox nodes with your credentials, specify the backup folder path, and optionally enable the purge fe
