Backup Tables

Latest Version on Packagist Total Downloads GitHub Code Style Action Status GitHub Tests For Laravel Versions Action Status GitHub Tests For Databases Action Status

Backup single or multiple database tables with ease.

Note: if you want a full database backup with many features go for Spatie Laravel Backup.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require watheqalshowaiter/backup-tables

Usage

Use the BackupTables::generateBackup($tableToBackup) Facade anywhere in your application and it will generate $tableToBackup_backup_2024_08_22_17_40_01 table in the database with all the data and structure. Note that the datetime 2024_08_22_17_40_01 will be varied based on your datetime.

use WatheqAlshowaiter\BackupTables\BackupTables; // import the facade

class ChangeSomeData
{
    public function handle()
    {
        BackupTables::backupTables('users'); // will result: users_backup_2024_08_22_17_40_01
       
        // change some data.. 
    }
}

And More Customizations

  • You can use an array to backup more than one table
BackupTables::backupTables(['users', 'posts']); 
// users_backup_2024_08_22_17_40_01
// posts_backup_2024_08_22_17_40_01 
  • Or add Classes as parameters, It will backup their tables
BackupTables::backupTables(User::class); // users_backup_2024_08_22_17_40_01
// or
BackupTables::backupTables([User::class, Post:class]); // users_backup_2024_08_22_17_40_01, posts_backup_2024_08_22_17_40_01 
 
  • You can customize the $dataTime format to whatever you want
BackupTables::backupTables(`users', 'Y_d_m_H_i'); // users_backup_2024_22_08_17_40

*Note: be aware if you customize the datetime to wide datetime the package will check the backup datetime file and will be skipped the exact same datetime, so most of the time the default will be fine For example: if you use this Y_d_m_H you can not generate the same backup in the same hour

BackupTables::backupTables(`users', 'Y_d_m_H'); // can not generate the same backup in the same hour
BackupTables::backupTables(`users', 'Y_d_m'); // can not generate the same backup in the same day

Why?

Sometimes you want to backup some database tables before changing data for whatever reason, this package serves this need. I used it personally before adding foreign keys for tables that required the removal of unlinked fields for parent tables. You may find some situation where you play with table data or you're afraid of missing data so you backup these tables beforehand.
