Taking care of backups with Laravel
summary
Package called laravel-backup claims easy backups for small teams and shows concrete tooling: 125,000 downloads, uses mysqldump + zip + S3 (any Flysystem driver), runs cleanup with grandfather‑father‑son rotation, and monitors health sending mail/Slack/Telegram/Pushover alerts. Demo uploads to S3 successfully. It warns that backups live with app credentials, consumes extra disk while zipping, and deliberately provides no automated restore. License joke: send a postcard when package hits production.
