This Laravel 5 package creates a backup of your application. The backup is a zipfile that contains all files in the directories you specify along with a dump of your database. The backup can be stored on any of the filesystems you have configured in Laravel 5.

Feeling paranoid about backups? No problem! You can backup your application to multiple filesystems at once.

Once installed taking a backup of your files and databases is very easy. Just issue this artisan command:

php artisan backup:run

In addition to taking the backup the package can also clean up old backups, monitor the health of the backups and show an overview of all backups.
