Install

  1. In your terminal:
# Install the package
composer require backpack/backupmanager

# Publish the backup and backupmanager configs and lang files:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\BackupManager\BackupManagerServiceProvider" --tag=backup-config --tag=lang

# [optional] Add a menu item for it
# For Backpack v6
php artisan backpack:add-menu-content "<x-backpack::menu-item title='Backups' icon='la la-hdd-o' :link=\"backpack_url('backup')\" />"
# For Backpack v5 or v4
php artisan backpack:add-sidebar-content "<li class='nav-item'><a class='nav-link' href='{{ backpack_url('backup') }}'><i class='nav-icon la la-hdd-o'></i> Backups</a></li>"
  1. [optional] Instruct Laravel to run the backups automatically in your console kernel:
// app/Console/Kernel.php

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    // if you are not using notifications you should add the `--disable-notifications` flag to this commands
    $schedule->command('backup:clean')->daily()->at('04:00');
    $schedule->command('backup:run')->daily()->at('05:00');
}
  1. Check that it works

If the "unknown error" yellow bubble is thrown and you see the "Backup failed because The dump process failed with exitcode 127 : Command not found." error in the log file, either mysqldump / pg_dump is not installed or you need to specify its location. You can do that in your config/database.php file, where you define your database credentials, by adding the dump variables. Here's an example:

'mysql' => [
    'driver'            => 'mysql',
    'host'              => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
    'database'          => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
    'username'          => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
    'password'          => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
    'charset'           => 'utf8',
    'collation'         => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
    'prefix'            => '',
    'strict'            => false,
    'engine'            => null,
    'dump' => [

        'dump_binary_path' => '/path/to/directory/', // only the path, without `mysqldump` or `pg_dump`
        // 'dump_binary_path' => '/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/', // works for MAMP on Mac OS
        // 'dump_binary_path' => '/opt/homebrew/bin/', // works for Laravel Valet on Mac OS
        'use_single_transaction',
        'timeout' => 60 * 5, // 5 minute timeout
        // 'exclude_tables' => ['table1', 'table2'],
        // 'add_extra_option' => '--optionname=optionvalue',
    ]
],

Usage

This should be a point-and-click interface where you can create and download backups at any time.

Try at your-project-domain/admin/backup

Configuration & Troubleshooting

For additional configuration (eg. notifications):

  • publish the spatie backup file php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Backup\BackupServiceProvider" --tag="backup-config"
  • see the spatie/laravel-backup documentation on how to configure your backup system in config/backup.php; it is higly recommended that you at least configure the notifications;
  • see config/backpack/backupmanager.php for configurating how the backup is run from the interface; by default, it does backup:run --disable-notifications, but after you've configured notifications, you can remove that flag (or add others);

[TIP] When you modify your options in config/backup.php or config/backpack/backupmanager.php, please run manually php artisan backup:run to make sure it's still working after your changes. NOTE: php artisan optimize:clear and/or php artisan config:clear might be needed before the backup:run command.

Contributing

Please see CONTRIBUTING for details.

Overwriting Functionality

If you need to modify how this works in a project:

  • create a routes/backpack/backupmanager.php file; the package will see that, and load your routes file, instead of the one in the package;
  • create controllers/models that extend the ones in the package, and use those in your new routes file;
  • modify anything you'd like in the new controllers/models;

Security
