README

DBSafeguard Database Backup is a simple Laravel package that provides a convenient command-line interface to backup your database.

Installation

1. Install the package via Composer:

composer require cyberwizard/dbsafeguard:dev-main

1. Usage:

To manually backup your database, run the following command:

php artisan backup:db

The backup file will be stored in the storage/app/backups directory with a timestamped filename.

1. Schedule Backups:

You can schedule automatic backups by adding the following entry to your Laravel task scheduler (usually defined in the App\Console\Kernel class):

$schedule->command('backup:db')->daily();

This will run the database backup command daily. Adjust the schedule as needed. Here are some examples:

• $schedule->command('backup:db')->daily(); - Run daily at midnight.
• $schedule->command('backup:db')->dailyAt('3:00'); - Run daily at 3:00 AM.
• $schedule->command('backup:db')->twiceDaily(1, 13); - Run twice a day at 1:00 AM and 1:00 PM.

Configuration

The package uses environment variables (DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD) to connect to the database. Ensure these variables are correctly set in your .env file.
