Backups

Using a package like spatie/laravel-backup you can create backups of your application. The backups are stored as zip files in a directory.

The BackupCheck will verify if your backups are up to date. It can check:

• if the youngest backup has been made before a certain date
• if the oldest backup was made after a certain date
• the number of backups
• the size of the backups

##Usage

Here's how you can register the check.

You can use the locatedAt method to specify the directory where the backups are stored. The locatedAt method accepts a glob pattern.

use Spatie\Health\Facades\Health;
use Spatie\Health\Checks\Checks\BackupsCheck;

Health::checks([
    BackupsCheck::new()->locatedAt('/path/to/backups/*.zip'),
]);

##Check the number of the backups

You can use the numberOfBackups method to check if the number of backups is within a certain range. The function accepts a min and/or a max parameter.

use Spatie\Health\Facades\Health;
use Spatie\Health\Checks\Checks\BackupsCheck;

Health::checks([
    BackupsCheck::new()->locatedAt('/path/to/backups/*.zip')->numberOfBackups(min: 5, max: 10),
]);

##Check the age of the backups

You can use the youngestBackShouldHaveBeenMadeBefore method to check if the youngest backup was made before a certain date.

Here's an example where we make sure the most recent backup is not older than 1 day.

use Spatie\Health\Facades\Health;
use Spatie\Health\Checks\Checks\BackupsCheck;

Health::checks([
    BackupsCheck::new()
        ->locatedAt('/path/to/backups/*.zip')
        ->youngestBackShouldHaveBeenMadeBefore(now()->subDays(1)),
]);

You can use the oldestBackShouldHaveBeenMadeAfter method to check if the oldest backup was made after a certain date.

Here's an example where we make sure the oldest backup is older than 1 week.

use Spatie\Health\Facades\Health;
use Spatie\Health\Checks\Checks\BackupsCheck;

Health::checks([
    BackupsCheck::new()
        ->locatedAt('/path/to/backups/*.zip')
        ->oldestBackShouldHaveBeenMadeAfter(now()->subWeeks(1)),
]);

##Specify a minimum size

You can use the atLeastSizeInMb method to specify a minimum size for the backups. Only backups that are larger than the specified size will be considered valid.

use Spatie\Health\Facades\Health;
use Spatie\Health\Checks\Checks\BackupsCheck;

Health::checks([
    BackupsCheck::new()
        ->locatedAt('/path/to/backups/*.zip')
        ->atLeastSizeInMb(20),
]);
