Does n8n backup workspaces?

Questions
1

Hello,
is it possible somehow to restore workflows or the whole workspace, if we haven’t created backups manually yet?
We would like to restore a backup from 2-3 days ago.
Or is there maybe a trash bin where deleted workflows, credentials, etc. are saved?

Thank you for your help.

  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):

n8n itself does not have any built-in mechanism to do a full backup.
For n8n cloud instances, there are regular database backups created from outside n8n.
However if you are self-hosting n8n, then you would need to setup the backup process yourself, depending on the database being used.
Please search for “Database backup”, and you’ll find couple of threads around how various people are backing up their data.

Thank you netroy for your response.

We are using the cloud instance. Would it be possible for you to import a backup that is 2 days old or younger?
The url is: pimcore.app.n8n.cloud

Thank you
