23. LET’S TALK BACKUPS
24. There is no 
 one size fits all solution for backups
25. Small sites Shared hosting Backups by hosting provider Did not do anything regarding backups ourselves Hosting Up until a few year ago
26. Bigger applications Learned basic server management through resources like serversforhackers.com Digital Ocean Forge / Ansible Hosting How we are currently doing it
27. HORROR STORIES
28. Horror Story #1 Earlier today, our Cloud Operations team was alerted to some performance issues affecting the physical server that hosts your droplet. … The damage was serious enough that this droplet was lost and not able to be restored. One fine morning I got this mail from Digital Ocean Full story: https://murze.be/2016/02/today-digitalocean-lost-our-entire-server/
29. Horror Story #2 This message is a follow-up to our previous emails. Despite the very best efforts of our engineering and datacenter operations teams, unfortunately the host machine that your cloud server resides on was not able to be recovered. At this point, there is complete data loss on the server. Horror can occur everywhere. A mail from Rackspace: Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3982571
30. Ok, I’ll just use
 the backup service 
 from my cloud provider
31. Horror Story #3
32. Horror Story #3
33. Relying on DO backups 
 is not enough! Only weekly snapshots Potentially a lot of data could get lost All the backups in the same datacenter If data center is down backups can’t be accessed or restored
34. SOLUTIONS
35. DIY: A bash script Hosted service: https://ottomatik.io/ Open source: BackupPC, Bacula Solutions Do not put your eggs in one basket
36. https://serversforhackers.com/video/backup-to-s3 interface Dumps the database with mysqldump Uploads dump + files using was cli tool to S3 Use cron to frequently run script Downside: no notifications when something goes wrong
 
 A bash script
37. Backups as a service Not free Easy to use interface Bring your own storage Ottomatik.io
38. Open source software Installed onto a control server SSH’s into servers to be backed up Uses hard links to save disk space Some system administration knowledge is required to setup up BackupPC SERVERS BackupPC SSH
39. LARAVEL BACKUP
40. Backup files and databases to one or more filesystems Cleanup old backups Sending notifications Easily installed into any Laravel application Laravel Backup
42. Backup files & databases FILES DATABASE SERVER S3 DROPBOX DB DUMP .ZIP .SQL
43. Backups use a lot of storage Artisan task to clean up old backups Fully configurable Will never delete the youngest backup Grandfather-father-son rotation scheme Cleanup old backups
44. Grandfather-father-son rotation scheme FEW TIMES A DAY DAILY (16) WEEKLY (8) MONTHLY (4) YEARLY(2) KEEP
 EVERYTHING KEEP DAILY BACKUPS KEEP WEEKLY BACKUPS KEEP MONTHLY BACKUPS KEEP YEARLY BACKUPS
45. Detects when no backups were made in a certain amount of days Detects if there is too much storage used Fully configurable Monitor backups
46. On (un)successful events (backup failed, youngest backup is too old, backup uses too much storage …) Fully configurable Mail, Slack, Telegram, Pushover, … https://github.com/laravel-notification-channels Sending notifications
47. DEMO
48. Your Laravel app may break Server may be down Install the package in a Laravel app on a separate server Monitor the backups of all your apps from there Monitoring best practices
49. Monitoring best practices APPS BACKUPS MONITOR
50. Install a Laravel app on the same server Point the configuration the the database/directories you which to backup Profit! Backing up a non Laravel app
51. Backup to multiple filesystems Get notified when something goes wrong Cleans up older backups Easy installation Cost: one postcard Benefits
52. Drawbacks Only use this for small to medium sized apps Can consume quite a bit a of disk space while backing up Application has credentials to access the backups No restore options
53. https://docs.spatie.be/laravel-backup
54. Version 4 PHP 7 / Laravel 5.3, 5.4 Laravel 5.3’s native notification capabilities Version 3: PHP 5.6 / Laravel 5.1, 5.2
 Custom notification system: Mail, Log, Slack, Pushover, Telegram Requirements
55. Do not rely solely on backups of your service provider Take care of backups yourself as well Many options available both free and paid Laravel Backup can help you out (cost: one postcard) Summary
