db-backup-laravel-ci
====================

[](#db-backup-laravel-ci)

A framework agnostic package to automatically back up your database and send the result via email. It supports both Laravel and CodeIgniter applications.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite databases
- Creates a SQL dump and compresses it using `gzip`
- Emails the compressed dump on a daily schedule
- If the gzipped file exceeds the configured size limit (25 MB by default) it is saved to disk and a download path is emailed instead

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require basantsd/db-backup-laravel-ci
```

Environment variables
---------------------

[](#environment-variables)

Add these entries to your `.env` file:

```
BACKUP_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
BACKUP_TOKEN=your-secret-token
APP_NAME="project-name"
# Optional: override the maximum attachment size in bytes (default 26214400)
BACKUP_MAX_ATTACHMENT_SIZE=26214400
```

Laravel setup
-------------

[](#laravel-setup)

1. Publish the configuration file: ```
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Basantsd\\Backup\\Laravel\\BackupServiceProvider" --tag="config"
    ```
2. Schedule the command in `app/Console/Kernel.php`: ```
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('backup:daily', ['--token' => config('backup.token')])->daily();
    }
    ```

CodeIgniter setup
-----------------

[](#codeigniter-setup)

1. Add a route to `routes.php`: ```
    $route['backup/daily'] = 'BackupController/daily';
    ```
2. Call the route with the token header: ```
    curl -H "X-Backup-Token: your-secret-token" http://your-domain.com/backup/daily
    ```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Laravel

[](#laravel)

Run the artisan command:

```
php artisan backup:daily --token=your-secret-token
```

### CodeIgniter

[](#codeigniter)

Access the `/backup/daily` URL with the header shown above.

Handling large backups
----------------------

[](#handling-large-backups)

Many email providers reject attachments larger than 20–25 MB. When the compressed backup exceeds `BACKUP_MAX_ATTACHMENT_SIZE`, this package saves the file to a `backups` directory (`storage/app/backups` for Laravel or `APPPATH/backups` for CodeIgniter) and sends an email containing the path to download the backup manually.
