Laravel System Backup v0.2.0
============================

[](#laravel-system-backup-v020)

Laravel package to perform a full system backup, compress it into a zip file, and optionally email it or upload to the cloud.

---

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Zips the entire Laravel application directory.
- **Exclude list** to skip unnecessary files (e.g. `.env`, `vendor`, `node_modules`).
- Optional **AES‑256 encryption** for the archive.
- **Retention policy** – keep only *N* most recent backups.
- Upload to any configured **filesystem disk** (e.g. [Azure](https://github.com/Azure-OSS/azure-storage-php-adapter-laravel), S3) and generate a **signed URL**.
- Send a configurable **email** with the local path or cloud link.
- Artisan command `backup:system` with `--email` flag.

---

Changelog
---------

[](#changelog)

### v0.2.0

[](#v020)

- **Fixed retention off‑by‑one (cloud)**: deletes one too many/too few backups.
- **Signed local download links in emails**: generate a temporary signed URL to the provided download route instead of emailing a local filesystem path.
- **Route configurability**: added prefix for the download route.
- **Safer, scalable cloud uploads**: stream file to the disk; gracefully handle drivers without temporaryUrl.

---

⚠️ **Disclaimer**

This package is functional but **not thoroughly tested** in production environments. Use with caution and verify backups independently before relying on it for critical systems.
