Sending notifications

On this page

  1. Configuration

The package leverages Laravel's native notifications to let you know that your backups are ok, or not. Out of the box it can send notifications via mail and Slack.

This is the portion of the configuration that will determine when and how notifications will be sent.

// config/backup-server.php
'notifications' => [

    /*
     * Backup Server sends out notifications on several events. Out of the box, mails and Slack messages
     * can be sent.
     */
    'notifications' => [
        \Spatie\BackupServer\Notifications\Notifications\BackupCompletedNotification::class => ['mail'],
        \Spatie\BackupServer\Notifications\Notifications\BackupFailedNotification::class => ['mail'],
