- Multiple Backup Destinations: Supports various storage systems (local, S3, FTP, etc.) for storing backups.
- Backup Monitoring: Monitor backup status and receive notifications on failures or success.
- Database Backups: Easily back up your databases alongside your application files.
- Customizable Backup Process: Tailor your backup strategies to fit your application’s needs.
Installation
You can install the package via Composer:
bash
1 |
composer require spatie/laravel-backup-server |
Configuration
- Publish Configuration: After installation, publish the configuration file using Artisan:
bash
1php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\BackupServer\BackupServerServiceProvider" - Edit Configuration: You will find a configuration file at
config/backup-server.php
. This file allows you to configure various settings, such as backup schedules, destinations, and notifications.
Setting Up Backup for Your Applications
Step 1: Configure Backups in Your Laravel Applications
In each Laravel application you want to back up, install the Spatie Laravel Backup package:
bash
1 |
composer require spatie/laravel-backup |
Then, publish the configuration:
bash
1 |
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Backup\BackupServiceProvider" |
Edit the config/backup.php
file to define backup settings such as which files to include, which databases to back up, and where to store the backups.
Step 2: Register Your Applications with the Backup Server
Add your applications to the backup server by editing the config/backup-server.php
file and specifying the application details, including the backup schedule and storage details.
Running Backups
To create a backup, you can use the following command from the backup server:
bash
1 |
php artisan backup:run |
This command will initiate the backup process based on the settings defined in the configuration files of both the backup server and the individual Laravel applications.
Monitoring Backups
The package provides ways to monitor the status of your backups. You can set up notifications using Laravel’s notification system to alert you in case of failures or successes.
Example Usage
Here’s a simple example of how you can set up your backup configurations in the config/backup.php
of a Laravel application:
php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
return [ 'backup' => [ 'name' => 'my-backup', 'source' => [ 'files' => [ base_path(), // Additional directories can be specified here ], 'databases' => [ 'mysql', ], ], 'destination' => [ 'disks' => ['local', 's3'], ], ], // More configuration options... ]; |
