I’m new to n8n and run the community version on Windows 11. I am preparing backups for my n8n installation, and I want to know what files to back up to recover from a system crash. Thanks.
you can create a backup-workflow which will write out all of your workflows and credentials in specified folders on the local filesystem. that way you have clean data.
here’s a simple example which will export your workflows and credentials in separate files
I recommend also to take a look at n8n’s CLI commands for exporting: CLI commands | n8n Docs
