In this tutorial, we will see how to backup database daily automatically in laravel app.
Step 1 :

<?php
namespace App\Console;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* The Artisan commands provided by your application.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $commands = [
'App\Console\Commands\myDbBackup'
];
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* @return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('inspire')->daily();
}
/**

protected function commands()

$this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');
require base_path('routes/console.php');

*/
protected $description = 'Create Database Backup';
/**

*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**

public function handle()

$filename = "backup-" . \Carbon\Carbon::now()->format('d-m-Y') . ".gz";
$command = "mysqldump --user=" . env('DB_USERNAME') ." --password=" . env('DB_PASSWORD') . " --host=" . env('DB_HOST') . " " . env('DB_DATABASE') . " | gzip > " . storage_path() . "/app/backup/" . $filename;
$returnVar = NULL;
$output = NULL;
exec($command, $output, $returnVar);
