N8N Backup Flow to Nextcloud (7-Day Retention)

🗂️ Say goodbye to lost workflows!

This automation backs up all your n8n workflows daily to a designated folder in Nextcloud — keeping your last 7 backups safe and automatically deleting older ones to save space. It’s the perfect offsite backup solution for teams running self-hosted n8n.

Whether you're a solo builder or managing workflows at scale, this tool ensures your automations are always recoverable.

What it does:

📅 Runs daily via scheduled trigger (manual run supported too)
📁 Creates a /N8N-Backup folder in Nextcloud if it doesn’t exist
🧠 Retrieves and converts all workflows to JSON format
☁️ Uploads each workflow file to your Nextcloud backup folder
🧹 Keeps only the latest 7 backups and deletes older ones automatically
✅ Setup guide & importable automation included

Note: Make sure the /N8N-Backup directory exists in Nextcloud or update the Backup Path node to your preferred folder.
