Install via npm. Does this only work with Docker?

Hi,

I installed n8n via npm. Even though the configuration is correct, it isn't finding my database file.

Does the backup manager only work with Docker?

Thanks

"Hi! Thank you for the question. Currently, the Manager is optimized for Docker environments, which is why it's having trouble locating your npm installation files.

However, we've received similar requests, and we will add official support for npm/local installations in the next version (v1.4.0). This will allow you to specify local file paths and run backups without Docker.

Stay tuned for the update!"
