These include: - `Backup::export` - `Backup::restore` - `Backup::setBackupEngineInstance` - `Backup::getBackupEngineInstance` - `Backup::setBackupFilesystemInstance` - `Backup::getBackupFilesystemInstance` - `Backup::setEnabled` - `Backup::getEnabled` - `Backup::setPath` - `Backup::getPath` - `Backup::setCompress` - `Backup::getCompress` - `Backup::setFilename` - `Backup::getFilename` - `Backup::getWorkingFilepath` - `Backup::getRestorationFiles` - `Backup::getProcessOutput` Installation ------------ [](#installation) Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `cornford/backup`. ``` "require": { "cornford/backup": "3.*" } ``` Next, update Composer from the Terminal: ``` composer update ``` Once this operation completes, the next step is to add the service provider. Open `config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array. ``` Cornford\Backup\Providers\BackupServiceProvider::class, ``` The next step is to introduce the facade. Open `config/app.php`, and add a new item to the aliases array. ``` 'Backup' => Cornford\Backup\Facades\BackupFacade::class, ``` Finally we need to introduce the configuration files into your application. ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cornford\Backup\Providers\BackupServiceProvider" --tag=backup ``` That's it! You're all set to go. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) You can now configure Backup in a few simple steps. Open `config/backup.php` and update the options as needed. - `enabled` - Enable Backup. - `path` - A database backup path, absolute path, or path relative from public directory, a trailing slash is required. - `filename` - A database export filename to use when exporting databases. - `compress` - Enable backup compression using gzip. Requires gzencode/gzdecode. - `processors` - Set the database engines processor location, trailing slash is required. Usage ----- [](#usage) It's really as simple as using the Backup class in any Controller / Model / File you see fit with: `Backup::` This will give you access to - [Export](#export) - [Restore](#Restore) - [Set Backup Engine Instance](#set-backup-engine-instance) - [Get Backup Engine Instance](#get-backup-engine-instance) - [Set Backup Filesystem Instance](#set-backup-filesystem-instance) - [Get Backup Filesystem Instance](#get-backup-filesystem-instance) - [Set Enabled](#set-enabled) - [Get Enabled](#get-enabled) - [Set Path](#set-path) - [Get Path](#get-path) - [Set Compress](#set-compress) - [Get Compress](#get-compress) - [Set Filename](#set-filename) - [Get Filename](#get-filename) - [Get Working Filepath](#get-working-filepath) - [Get Restoration Files](#get-restoration-files) - [Get Process Output](#get-process-output) ### Export [](#export) The `export` method allows a database export file to be created in the defined backup location, with an optional filename option. ``` Backup::export(); Backup::export('database_backup'); ``` ### Restore [](#restore) The `restore` method allows a database export file to be restored to the database, specifying a full filepath to the file. ``` Backup::restore('./database_backup.sql'); ``` ### Set Backup Engine Instance [](#set-backup-engine-instance) The `setBackupEngineInstance` method allows a custom backup engine instance object to be utilised, implementing the BackupEngineInterface. ``` Backup::setBackupEngineInstance(new BackupEngineMysql(new BackupProcess(new Symfony\Component\Process\Process), 'database', 'localhost', 3306, 'root', '', [])); ``` ### Get Backup Engine Instance [](#get-backup-engine-instance) The `getBackupEngineInstance` method returns the current backup engine instance object. ``` Backup::getBackupEngineInstance(); ``` ### Set Backup Filesystem Instance [](#set-backup-filesystem-instance) The `setBackupFilesystemInstance` method allows a custom backup filesystem instance object to be utilised, implementing the BackupFilesystemInterface. ``` Backup::setBackupFilesystemInstance(new BackupFilesystemInstance); ``` ### Get Backup Filesystem Instance [](#get-backup-filesystem-instance) The `getBackupFilesystemInstance` method returns the current backup filesystem instance object. ``` Backup::getBackupFilesystemInstance(); ``` ### Set Enabled [](#set-enabled) The `setEnabled` method allows backup to be switched on or off, specifying a bool for state. ``` Backup::setEnabled(true); Backup::setEnabled(false); ``` ### Get Enabled [](#get-enabled) The `getEnabled` method returns the current backup enabled status, returning a bool for its state. ``` Backup::getEnabled(); ``` ### Set Path [](#set-path) The `setPath` method allows backup location path to be set, specifying a relative or absolute path as a string, a trailing slash is required. ``` Backup::setPath('/path/to/directory/'); ``` ### Get Path [](#get-path) The `getPath` method returns the current absolute backup path in string format. ``` Backup::getPath(); ``` ### Set Compress [](#set-compress) The `setCompress` method allows backup file compression to be switched on or off, specifying a bool for state. ``` Backup::setCompress(true); Backup::setCompress(false); ``` ### Get Compress [](#get-compress) The `getCompress` method returns the current compression backup status, returning a bool for its state. ``` Backup::getCompress(); ``` ### Set Filename [](#set-filename) The `setFilename` method allows backup filename to be set, specified in a string format. ``` Backup::setFilename('database_backup'); Backup::setFilename('backup-' . date('Ymd-His')); ``` ### Get Filename [](#get-filename) The `getFilename` method returns the current set backup filename in a string format. ``` Backup::getFilename(); ``` ### Get Working Filepath [](#get-working-filepath) The `getWorkingFilepath` method returns the current set working filepath of the current item being processed in a string format. ``` Backup::getWorkingFilepath(); ``` ### Get Restoration Files [](#get-restoration-files) The `getRestorationFiles` method returns an array containing all of the restoration file filepaths within a give path, an optional absolute path can be set as a string. ``` Backup::getRestorationFiles(); Backup::getRestorationFiles('/path/to/directory/'); ``` ### License [](#license) Backup is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity70 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 66.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
