Automated n8n Credential Backups to Google Drive

This n8n workflow automates the backup of all n8n credentials by executing a command to export decrypted data, formatting it into a JSON file, and uploading it to a specified Google Drive folder. Compatible only with self-hosted n8n using community nodes, it supports both manual on-demand execution and automatic daily scheduling for consistent backups.

Key benefits include eliminating manual credential management errors, providing a reliable recovery point against data loss, and simplifying instance migrations. It safeguards sensitive data like API keys and auth tokens, ensuring business continuity for automation workflows.

Ideal for n8n administrators managing self-hosted setups in IT, development, or commerce environments. Use cases include routine maintenance for procurement systems, storage backups in development pipelines, and disaster recovery planning. Pair with a restore workflow for complete credential lifecycle management.
