**Introduction**
----------------

[](#introduction)

**Quick Installation**
----------------------

[](#quick-installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer.

You can run:

```
composer require paulvl/mysql

```

Or edit your project's composer.json file to require paulvl/json-api.

```
    "require-dev": {
        "paulvl/mysql": "^1.0"
    }

```

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

```
composer update --dev

```

Once the package's installation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array:

```
PaulVL\Mysql\BackupServiceProvider::class,

```

Finally publish package's configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

Then the file `config/backup.php` will be created.

That's it! You're all set to go. Run the artisan command from the Terminal to see the new `json-api` commands.

```
php artisan

```

**Creating a backup**
---------------------

[](#creating-a-backup)

To make a backup of you current aplicationa database you have to run:

```
php artisan mysql:dump

```

This will create an `.sql` file on your configured path like `/this/is/my/path/20150101201505.sql`, this file is named using current datetime. If you want a custom name run:

```
php artisan mysql:dump example

```

This will create an `.sql` file on your configured path like `/this/is/my/path/example.sql`

**Restoring database from file**
--------------------------------

[](#restoring-database-from-file)

```
php artisan mysql:restore filename

...
	$schedule->command('mysql:dump')->dailyAt('13:00');
...
}

```
