Laravel MySQL to 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. Add it to your composer.json:

   "fitztrev/laravel-mysql-s3-backup": "dev-master"
   

2. Update your composer packages

   $ composer update

3. Update app/config/app.php:

   'providers' => array(
       ...
       'Fitztrev\LaravelMysqlS3Backup\LaravelMysqlS3BackupServiceProvider',
   ),

4. Publish and edit the config

   $ php artisan config:publish fitztrev/laravel-mysql-s3-backup

   Edit app/config/packages/fitztrev/laravel-mysql-s3-backup/config.php:

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

Usage

$ php artisan db:backup

That's it. No arguments or optional parameters.
