Overview
This node operation allows you to export a project backup from the mittwald mStudio API. It is useful when you want to create an archive of your project backup data in a specific format for storage, transfer, or disaster recovery purposes. For example, you might use this node to export backups regularly and store them securely offsite or to migrate project data between environments.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Project Backup Id | The unique identifier of the project backup you want to export. |
| Format | The archive format for the exported backup. Options: Tar or Zip. |
| Password | A password to protect the exported archive, adding encryption for security. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the export operation. This typically includes metadata about the exported backup archive. If the node supports binary data output (e.g., the actual archive file), it would be provided as binary data attached to the output, protected by the specified password.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the mittwald mStudio API.
- The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at
https://api.mittwald.de. - Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Project Backup Id: If the provided ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the ID before running the node.
- Unsupported Format: Only
tarandzipformats are supported. Using any other format will cause the request to fail. - Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Password Issues: If the password is missing or does not meet API requirements, the export may fail or produce an unprotected archive.
- Network or API Downtime: Temporary connectivity issues or API service interruptions can cause failures; retry after some time.
