Restore and recover n8n credentials from Google Drive backups with duplication protection

This n8n workflow template uses community nodes and is only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

Restore n8n Credentials from Google Drive Backup

This template enables you to restore your n8n credentials from a backup file in Google Drive. It's an essential companion to a credential backup workflow, ensuring you can recover your setup in case of data loss, instance migration, or disaster recovery. The workflow intelligently checks for existing credentials to prevent accidental overwrites of credentials with the same name that are already present. This workflow is manually triggered.

We recommend you use this restore workflow in conjunction with a backup solution like our ["Auto Backup Credentials to Google Drive" template](https://aiautomationpro.org/products/n8n-auto-backup-credentials-to-google-drive/).

Who is this for?

This workflow is for n8n administrators and users who have backed up their n8n credentials to Google Drive (e.g., using a companion backup template) and need to restore them to the same or a different n8n instance. It's crucial for those managing self-hosted instances.
