- In your terminal
$ composer require backpack/backupmanager- For Laravel <5.5, add the service providers to your config/app.php file:
Spatie\Backup\BackupServiceProvider::class,
Backpack\BackupManager\BackupManagerServiceProvider::class,
- Publish the config file and lang files:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\BackupManager\BackupManagerServiceProvider"
- Add a new "disk" to config/filesystems.php:
// used for Backpack/BackupManager
'backups' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('backups'), // that's where your backups are stored by default: storage/backups
],This is where you choose a different driver if you want your backups to be stored somewhere else (S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, etc).
- [optional] Add a menu item for it in resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar.blade.php or menu.blade.php:
<li><a href="{{ url(config('backpack.base.route_prefix', 'admin').'/backup') }}"><i class="fa fa-hdd-o"></i> <span>Backups</span></a></li>-
[optional] Modify your backup options in config/backup.php
-
[optional] Instruct Laravel to run the backups automatically in your console kernel:
// app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('backup:clean')->daily()->at('04:00');
$schedule->command('backup:run')->daily()->at('05:00');
}- 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. Example for Mac OS X's MAMP:
'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' => '/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/', // only the path, so without `mysqldump` or `pg_dump`; this is a working example from MAMP on Mac OS
'use_single_transaction',
'timeout' => 60 * 5, // 5 minute timeout
// 'exclude_tables' => ['table1', 'table2'],
// 'add_extra_option' => '--optionname=optionvalue',
]
],Point and click, baby. Point and click.
Try at your-project-domain/admin/backup
- change your required version to
"backpack/backupmanager": "^1.2",; - the only breaking change is that the
config/database.phpdump variables are now inside an array. Please see the step 8 above, copy-paste thedumparray from there and customize;
Please see CHANGELOG for more information what has changed recently.
$ composer testPlease see CONTRIBUTING for details.
If you need to modify how this works in a project:
- create a
routes/backpack/backupmanager.phpfile; 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;
