### Backing up to Dropbox and sending Slack notifications along the way

\*To send `slack` notifications, `composer require maknz/slack` and [create an incoming webhook](https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook)

```

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;
use Maknz\Slack\Client as SlackClient;

$dotenv = new DotEnv([__DIR__ . '/.env']);
$dotenv->load();
