Database Backup Package For Laravel

Introduction

The Database Backup Laravel Package is a convenient solution for backing up MySQL and PostgreSQL databases in a Laravel application. It provides a simple endpoint /database-backup to trigger the backup process.

Installation

1. Install the package using Composer:

   composer require ahrasel/laravel-backup
   

2. Register the BackupServiceProvider in your config/app.php:

   'providers' => [
       // ...
        Ahrasel\LaravelBackup\BackupServiceProvider::class,
   ],
   

Configuration

The package comes with default configurations. If you need to customize the configuration, publish the configuration file using the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=" Ahrasel\LaravelBackup\BackupServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a backup.php file in your config directory.

Usage

Once installed and configured, you can trigger a database backup by hitting the /database-backup endpoint in your Laravel application.

Example:

http://localhost:8000/database-backup

You can also integrate this endpoint into your application as needed, for example, by creating a scheduled task to run the backup at specific intervals.
