Laravel MySQL to S3 Backup

This package was rewritten and extra features added, it can be found https://github.com/ayles-software/laravel-mysql-s3-backup

This is a very simple database backup script for Laravel. It takes a mysqldump and optionally saves it to Amazon 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 parkourben99/laravel-mysql-s3-backup

   Or add it to your composer.json:

   "parkourben99/laravel-mysql-s3-backup": "1.*"
   

2. Update your composer packages

   $ composer update

3. Update config/app.php:

   Service Provider is autoloaded if you want to registered it manually then add

   'providers' => array(
       ...
       'LaravelMysqlS3Backup\ServiceProvider',
   ),

4. Publish and edit the config

   $ php vendor:publish --provider=parkourben99/laravel-mysql-s3-backup

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

   's3' => [
       'key'    => 'AMAZON_API_KEY',
       'secret' => 'AMAZON_API_SECRET',
       'bucket' => 'your-bucket-name',
   ],
