Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up automated backups for your n8n workflows:

  1. Create a Backup Repository: Start by creating a backup repository to your GitHub account.

  2. Generate GitHub Token: Go to GitHub settings and generate a new token with the repo scope selected. Copy this token for later use.

  3. Configure new n8n workflow: In your n8n instance, set up a workflow with the template i provided here.

  4. Create Required Cerdentials Create credentials like API forfor GitHub with the previous generated token. Also create a n8n API from the Settings > n8n api > generate

  5. Just Modify (Compulsory): If you want to change the backup frequency, you can modify the schedule, you also need to change the user, repo name etc as well.

Restoring Workflows

For restoration I personally suggest you to download the JSON file from GitHub on your local machine and then import it from n8n.
