An easy way to make backups of you laravel app.

###Install

• You need to require this package as a composer dependency, so, run:

• After it, register the package on the $providers array on app/config/app.php

~~~ 'providers' => array(

'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
...
'Hernandes\Larasafe\LarasafeServiceProvider',

), ~~~

Configuration

• First thing we need to use it, is publish the package config files, do it running:

php artisan config:publish hernandes/larasafe

• Now we have 3 files inside app/config/packages/hernandes/larasafe

  • database.php

    Where you need to setup your database connection to be used when backuping, you can also specify tables to ignore and aditional options to mysqldump command.

  • files.php

    On files.php, you can choose what folders and files of your project need to be backed up, and some fine tune options, like what compression use.

  • targets.php

    On targets.php, you will need to inform where you backups should be stored, supports local folders and remote servers, also, you can specify how much time backups should be preserved (rotation).
