In my original post - [node-RED Backup Flow](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-backup-flow/25033) the flow I posted would create a backup each night, but because of the format of the backup name, Dropbox will keep the previous 30 days backups that can be restored.  
Dropbox weeds backups older than 30 days.
