A Laravel package providing Artisan commands to quickly dump and load database snapshots. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite and stores snapshots on a configurable filesystem disk.

Use cases

• dump and restore a laravel database from the command line
• save database state before testing a feature and reload it after
• create named database snapshots in a laravel app
• restore the latest database snapshot with one artisan command
• clean up old database dumps keeping only recent ones
• quickly reset a development database to a known state

When to choose

• you use Laravel and want simple artisan-driven database dump/restore
• you develop against MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite and need to snapshot and reload database state
• you want snapshot storage integrated with Laravel's filesystem disks

When to avoid

• you need full database backup tooling with scheduling, encryption, or cloud-native features
• you are not using Laravel, since the package depends on Artisan and Laravel filesystems
• you need continuous replication or point-in-time recovery rather than manual snapshots
