Parrot is an extensable backup system written in PHP. It is designed to make it easy to create backups of files, databases and more and upload these to one or many different filesystem adapters using [Flysystem](https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem).

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Parrot is configured using YAML files. Simply create a `parrot.yml` file then run `parrot` to start the backup.
