The easiest way to back up n8n workflows is to export them as JSON files. Here’s a short guide on how to do it:
- On n8n's main dashboard, find and open the workflow you want to back up.
- Following that, go to the top-right corner and click the 'More Options' button.
- Find and select 'Download' from the list.
- Finally, your n8n workflow will be downloaded as a JSON file. You can now keep it in a secure folder and consider it a backup for your n8n workflow.
