README

This is a very simple database backup script for Laravel. It takes a mysqldump and saves it to Amazon S3 or compatible object storage. It also supports trimming backups to only have X days worth on S3.

This package is very opinionated. Other backup scripts can support other database types or other places besides S3 to store your backup. This does not.

Installation

1. Install package

   composer require ayles-software/laravel-mysql-s3-backup
   

2. Publish and edit the config

   php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelMysqlS3Backup\ServiceProvider"

   Edit config/laravel-mysql-s3-backup.php:

   's3' => [
       'key'    => 'AMAZON_API_KEY',
       'secret' => 'AMAZON_API_SECRET',
       'bucket' => 'your-bucket-name',
       'region' => 'your-bucket-region',
       'endpoint' => env('AWS_ENDPOINT'),
       'folder' => env('BACKUP_FOLDER'),
   ],

Usage

$ php artisan db:backup

That's it. No arguments or optional parameters.
