Download the PHP package h2akim/backupl41 without Composer

An easy way backup and restore databases in Laravel.

Fork from Cornford/Backup

• Add Laravel 4.1 Support

Think of Backup as an easy way to backup and restore a database, with command line integration to Laravel's artisan. These include:

• Backup::export
• Backup::restore
• Backup::setBackupEngineInstance
• Backup::getBackupEngineInstance
• Backup::setBackupFilesystemInstance
• Backup::getBackupFilesystemInstance
• Backup::setEnabled
• Backup::getEnabled
• Backup::setPath
• Backup::getPath
• Backup::setCompress
• Backup::getCompress
• Backup::setFilename
• Backup::getFilename
• Backup::getWorkingFilepath
• Backup::getRestorationFiles
• Backup::getProcessOutput

Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require cornford/backup.

"require": {
    "h2akim/backup": "dev-master"
}

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

composer update

Once this operation completes, the next step is to add the service provider. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers array.

'H2akim\Backup\Providers\BackupServiceProvider',

The next step is to introduce the facade. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the aliases array.

'Backup'         => 'H2akim\Backup\Facades\Backup',

Finally we need to introduce the configuration files into your application.

php artisan config:publish h2akim/backup

That's it! You're all set to go.
