Laravel Backup Panel

Laravel Backup Panel provides a dashboard for spatie/laravel-backup package. It lets you:

create a backup (full | only database | only files)
check the health of your backups
list all backups
download a backup
delete a backup
monitor used disk storage

Screenshot

It resembles the look and functionality of another Spatie package: spatie/nova-backup-tool. This was done on purpose, so users can easily migrate from one to another. Only it doesn't use polling. A "real-time" updates of a backups list isn't such a necessarily thing and an intensive polling can cause unexpected charges if you use services that require to pay per API requests, such as Google Cloud Storage. Also, some users reported about hitting a rate limit of Dropbox API.

Requirements

Make sure you meet the requirements for installing spatie/laravel-backup. Since this package requires the spatie/laravel-backup version 6.11.12 or higher, it also requires PHP 7.3 and Laravel 6.0 or higher.

Using an older version of PHP, Laravel, spatie/laravel-backup?

Just use the older version of this package, see the v1 branch.

Installation

First you must install spatie/laravel-backup into your Laravel app. The installation instructions are here. When successful, running php artisan backup:run on the terminal should create a backup and php artisan backup:list should return a list with an overview of all backup disks.

You may use composer to install Laravel Backup Panel into your project:

$ composer require pavel-mironchik/laravel-backup-panel

After installing, publish its resources using provided Artisan command:

$ php artisan laravel-backup-panel:install

This will do the following:

place CSS files into public/vendor/laravel_backup_panel directory
place Blade templates into resources/views/vendor/laravel_backup_panel directory
add config file config/laravel_backup_panel.php
register service provider app/Providers/LaravelBackupPanelServiceProvider.php

Updating

When updating the package, do not forget to re-publish resources:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-backup-panel-assets --force
$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-backup-panel-views --force

Upgrading

See the Wiki for the instructions how to upgrade from version 1.

Configuration

You are free to tune CSS styles in the public/vendor/laravel_backup_panel directory and change the layout in the resources/views/vendor/laravel_backup_panel directory as you want.

Laravel Backup Panel exposes a dashboard at /backup. Change it in config/laravel_backup_panel.php file:

'path' => 'backup',

Sometimes you don't want to run backup jobs on the same queue as user actions and things that is more time critical. Specify your desired queue name in config/laravel_backup_panel.php file:

'queue' => 'dedicated_low_priority_queue',

By default, you will only be able to access the dashboard in the local environment. To change that, modify authorization gate in the app/Providers/LaravelBackupPanelServiceProvider.php:

/**
 * Register the Laravel Backup Panel gate.
 *
 * This gate determines who can access Laravel Backup Panel in non-local environments.
 *
 * @return void
 */
protected function gate()
{
    Gate::define('viewLaravelBackupPanel', function ($user) {
        return in_array($user->email, [
            'admin@your-site.com',
        ]);
    });
}

Usage

Open http://your-site/backup. You'll see a dashboard and controls to use.
