================================================

[](#laravel-incremental-backup--full-package-v31)

**Full, Incremental & Differential Backups for Laravel** — includes multi-database support, scheduling, cloud upload, and restore-from-cloud.

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

[](#installation)

1. Copy this package into your project's `vendor/` folder (e.g. `vendor/gokulsingh/laravel-incremental-backup`) **OR** add it as a path repository in your main composer.json:

```
"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "path",
    "url": "vendor/gokulsingh/laravel-incremental-backup"
  }
]
```

2. Require it via composer:

```
composer require gokulsingh/laravel-incremental-backup:dev-main
```

3. Publish config and run migrations:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Gokulsingh\\IncrementalBackup\\IncrementalBackupServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate
```

4. Configure `.env`:

```
BACKUP_DISK=local
BACKUP_PATH=backups
BACKUP_CLOUD_ENABLED=true
BACKUP_CLOUD_DISK=s3
BACKUP_CLOUD_PATH=cloud_backups

# Optional: schedule defaults
BACKUP_SCHEDULE_ENABLED=true
BACKUP_SCHEDULE_FREQUENCY=daily
BACKUP_SCHEDULE_TYPE=full
BACKUP_SCHEDULE_CONNECTION=mysql
BACKUP_SCHEDULE_DBNAME=null
```

[](#run-a-differential-backup-since-last-full)

[](#override-database-name)

[](#restore-a-backup-by-id)

```
php artisan backup:restore 1 --connection=mysql --dbname=customer_db

```

Notes & Requirements
------------------------

[](#notes--requirements)

- **MySQL binary logging** must be enabled for incremental backups: Add to my.cnf:

    ```
    [mysqld]
    server-id=1
    log-bin=mysql-bin
    binlog_format=ROW

    ```

    Restart MySQL after changes.
- **Differential backups** in this MVP use `updated_at` filtering where possible. This is a heuristic; for robust differential backups consider triggers, change tables, or CDC.
- **Cloud upload** uses Laravel filesystem disks. Configure S3/Dropbox/etc in `config/filesystems.php` and set `BACKUP_CLOUD_DISK` accordingly.
- The package uses system commands (`mysqldump`, `mysql`, `mysqlbinlog`, `gzip`, `gunzip`). Ensure they are available in PATH or override the commands in `config/incremental-backup.php`.

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

- Improve binlog delta handling (store exact positions, incremental chains)
- Add optional encryption
- Add backup retention & cleanup
- Add UI dashboard & manual restore from UI
- Add notifications (Slack, email)
