Dbackup is a simple package for Laravel 5.7+ that add artisan command to backup database.

Note This package makes use of the mysqldump function through PHP passthru. will only work on compatible systems

Installation

composer require jvizcaya/dbackup

We publish the config file if we want to change the storage path of the database backup and other settings.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jvizcaya\Dbackup\DbackupServiceProvider"

By default the path storage/app/backup is used. Make sure this directory exists and has the necessary write permissions.

php artisan dbackup:generate

The command saves a database backup in the storage path, and delete the backups older (one week by default)

You can add the command dbackup:generate to Task scheduling to make database backup periodically.
