determine the execution time and turn that into a timestamp

KNIME will not mark KNIME workflows as folders ....

You can add your own path. Best if the target folder will be synchronized like a DropBox or OneDrive path

Your local KNIME Backup system

KNIME does not offer a Backup system in the Analytics Platform per se, so this is a do-it-yourself way to store the current state of all the workflows and data in a folder into a .zip file. That you can place into a folder that is being backuped and versioned

If "true" the following files will be excluded from the backup:

"data.zip"

"data.xml"

".savedWithData"

"db_session.xml"

Display a summary of the files being exported from the stored JSON files

Short: place this workflow in your project folder and if you run it it will back up everything in the folder expect itself

You can exclude executed states of the data
