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

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.

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 it resources using provided Artisan command:

$ php artisan laravel-backup-panel:install

This will place assets into public/laravel_backup_panel directory, add config file config/laravel_backup_panel.php, and register service provider app/Providers/LaravelBackupPanelServiceProvider.php.

Upgrading

When upgrading the package, do not forget to re-publish assets:

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

Configuration

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

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.

Development

Make sure you’ve prepared a dummy Laravel application to test the package in, because assets will be copied there by this line in webpack.mix.js:

.copy('public/vendor/laravel_backup_panel', '../laravel-backup-panel-test/public/vendor/laravel_backup_panel');

Security

If you discover any security related issues, please email mironchikpavel@gmail.com instead of using the issue tracker.
