CalmBackup
==========

[](#calmbackup)

Zero-knowledge encrypted backups for PHP applications. Your data is encrypted on your server before it leaves — we store only an opaque blob we can't read.

Works with **any PHP application**. Laravel gets artisan commands as a bonus.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require calmbackup/backup
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

### Any PHP app

[](#any-php-app)

```
vendor/bin/calmbackup init
```

### Laravel

[](#laravel)

```
php artisan backup:install
```

Both wizards will:

- Validate your API key
- Generate your encryption key locally (never sent to us)
- Configure your database connection
- Save a recovery key file

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Run a backup

[](#run-a-backup)

```
# Laravel
php artisan backup:run

# Any PHP app
vendor/bin/calmbackup run
```

### Schedule daily backups

[](#schedule-daily-backups)

**Laravel:** Automatic — the service provider registers a daily backup at 02:00.

**Any PHP app:** Add to crontab:

```
0 2 * * * cd /path/to/project && vendor/bin/calmbackup run >> /dev/null 2>&1

```

### List backups

[](#list-backups)

```
php artisan backup:list          # Laravel
vendor/bin/calmbackup list-backups   # Any PHP
```

### Restore

[](#restore)

```
php artisan backup:restore       # Laravel
vendor/bin/calmbackup restore    # Any PHP
```

### Status check

[](#status-check)

```
php artisan backup:status        # Laravel
vendor/bin/calmbackup status     # Any PHP
```

Supported databases
-------------------

[](#supported-databases)

- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- SQLite

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

1. Dumps your database using native tools (`mysqldump`, `pg_dump`, `sqlite3`)
2. Archives the dump + optional directories into `.tar.gz`
3. Encrypts with AES-256-GCM using your key
4. Uploads the encrypted blob via presigned URL (direct to storage, never through our servers)
5. Confirms the upload with the CalmBackup API

We never see your encryption key. We can't decrypt your backups. That's the point.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.2+
- ext-openssl, ext-curl, ext-phar
- Database CLI tools in PATH (`mysqldump`/`mysql`, `pg_dump`/`pg_restore`, or `sqlite3`)

License
