Facilitates automatic/scheduled backups of a site's /public directory-- under the assumption that all else (source code) is already backed up by virtue of originating from a different machine in the first place, thus including more would just waste space-- and database. While by default backups are saved to storage/app, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you configure either an off-server storage location for them or have a solution to move the backups off the server regularly, preferably automatically. To this end, optional Dropbox support is included.
This is more or less just a for-convenience implementation of existing tools, ready to go give or take configuration as desired. Implements spatie/laravel-backup with some pre-configuration as well as support for Dropbox via benjamincrozat/laravel-dropbox-driver. Those wishing to customize the configuration in-depth are recommended to peruse the laravel-backup documentation.
