`yakovenko/laravel-backup-db` - Simple Laravel database backup command with automatic cleanup options, secure MySQL connection, comprehensive logging, and configurable storage support.

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

[](#installation)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP : ^8.0
- Laravel : ^8.0 || ^9.0 || ^10.0 || ^11.0 || ^12.0
- MySQL database
- `mysqldump` command available in system PATH

### Install the Package

[](#install-the-package)

You can install the package via Composer:

```
composer require yakovenko/laravel-backup-db
```

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

[](#configuration)

Publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Yakovenko\LaravelBackupDb\LaravelBackupDbServiceProvider" --tag=config
```

This will create `config/backup-db.php` with the following options:

```
return [
    // Number of days to keep backups
    'cleanup_days' => env('BACKUP_DB_CLEANUP_DAYS', 15),

    // Enable automatic backup scheduling
    'auto_schedule' => env('BACKUP_DB_AUTO_SCHEDULE', true),

    // Time when backup should run (24-hour format)
    'schedule_time' => env('BACKUP_DB_SCHEDULE_TIME', '00:15'),

    // How often backup should run: 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly'
    'schedule_frequency' => env('BACKUP_DB_SCHEDULE_FREQUENCY', 'daily'),

    // Day for weekly/monthly backups (0=Sunday, 1=Monday, etc. for weekly; 1-31 for monthly)
    'schedule_day' => env('BACKUP_DB_SCHEDULE_DAY', 1),

    // Storage disk for backups
    'storage_disk' => env('BACKUP_DB_STORAGE_DISK', 'local'),

    // Storage directory for backups
    'storage_directory' => env('BACKUP_DB_STORAGE_DIRECTORY', 'backup'),

    // Enable logging
    'logging' => env('BACKUP_DB_LOGGING', true),
];
```
