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

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.3
- Laravel 6+
- `mysql` (to restore database)
- `mysqldump` (to backup database)
- `tar` (to backup/restore files)
- `zcat` (to extract database archive)

Please make sure above binaries are added to `PATH` environment variable or you can specify full path to them in config file.

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

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require ichie-benjamin/lara-backup-manager
```

(Optional) Add Facade to `config/app.php` in `aliases` section:

```
'BackupManager' => IchieBenjamin\LaraBackupManager\Facades\BackupManager::class,
```

---

Publish package's files by running below command:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="IchieBenjamin\LaraBackupManager\ServiceProvider"
```

It should publish `config/lara-backup-manager.php` config file and migration file.

Run `php artisan migrate` to create backup verifier (`verifybackup`)) table.

---

Finally setup options in `config/lara-backup-manager.php` file and open the backup manager at url you have specified in `route` option eg `http//yourapp.com/lara-backup-manager`, you should now see interface of BackupManager.

See `config/lara-backup-manager.php` file for more information about backup settings.

Setting Up Automatic Backups
----------------------------

[](#setting-up-automatic-backups)

To setup automatic backups, place following in `app/Console/Kernel.php` file:

```
$schedule->command('backupmanager:create')->daily();
$schedule->command('backupmanager:create --only="db"')->everySixHours();
```

This package provides GUI interface to manage backups, also this following commands are also available:

```
  backupmanager:create                  Creates backup of files and/or database.
  backupmanager:create --only="db"      Creates backup of database only.
  backupmanager:create --only="files"   Creates backup of files only.
  backupmanager:list                    Shows list of backups taken.
  backupmanager:restore                 Restores a backup already taken.
```

Saving Backups to Other Disks
-----------------------------

[](#saving-backups-to-other-disks)

By default this package saves backups to `local` disk but you can use built-in feature of laravel filesystem to save backups to other disks too. Let's say you want to upload to different server for which you have ftp credentials, you need to update those ftp credentials into laravel's `config/filesystems.php` file under `ftp` disk setting. Once you have done that, in backup manager config file (`config/backupmanager.php`) specify your disk to be `ftp` instead of `local` eg:

```
// define disk options
'disk' => 's3',

```

instead of

```
 'disk' => 'local',

```

Now backup files will be saved to s3 instead of locally.
