Backing up to Dropbox and sending Slack notifications along the way

*To send slack notifications, composer require maknz/slack and create an incoming webhook

    // directory to which backup should be saved on the remote server
    $backup->setRemoteDirectory(getenv('REMOTE_DIR_NAME'));

    // keep only 7 backups then overwrite the oldest one

    ));

    // run backup
    $backup->run();

} catch (Exception $exception) {

    $client->send('Project backup failed at: ' . Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString() .' with message: "'.$exception->getMessage().'"');
