Automated n8n Workflow Backup to Google Drive with Archiving
Fully automated system backs up n8n workflows to Google Drive on a schedule. Archives tagged workflows to a subfolder and deletes them from n8n for clutter-free management.
This workflow automates the backup of all active n8n workflows to Google Drive, running on a customizable schedule. Each workflow is exported as a JSON file named after itself and stored in a designated main folder. It ensures your workflows are safely preserved without manual intervention.
A standout feature is intelligent archiving: workflows tagged 'ARCHIVE' (case-sensitive) are backed up to an 'Archive' subfolder and then automatically deleted from your n8n instance. This keeps your workspace organized, reduces clutter, and prevents accidental data loss while maintaining accessible archives.
Ideal for n8n power users, teams managing multiple workflows, or anyone prioritizing data safety. Benefits include time savings on manual backups, version control via timestamps, and seamless cleanup. Requires Google Drive OAuth credentials and folder IDs for setup—perfect for daily/weekly automation in development or production environments.
