## What it is
A Laravel package that creates zip backups of your application's files and database dumps, storing them on any configured Laravel filesystem, including multiple destinations at once. It also monitors backup health, sends notifications on failures, and cleans up old backups.

## Use cases
- back up a Laravel app's files and database
- schedule automated database dumps and file backups
- send backups to S3 and local disk simultaneously
- get notified when a backup fails
- clean up old backups to save disk space
- monitor the health of my backups

## When to choose
- you run a Laravel application and need reliable file plus database backups
- you want backups pushed to multiple filesystems with notifications and cleanup built in

## When to avoid
- your project is not built on Laravel or PHP
- you need to back up many remote servers rather than a single app (see laravel-backup-server)
- you need a restore tool - use wnx/laravel-backup-restore alongside it

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: backup, database, monitoring, alerting, scheduling, cli
- domain: databases, self-hosted, developer-tools
- platform: php, cli, self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: laravel, zip, filesystems, artisan-commands, backup-monitoring, spatie, devops
