Generating a New Backup

To manually create a backup:

  1. Click the "Generate Backup" button in the top right corner.
  2. The system will process and generate a new backup file.

To automate backups, a cron job must be added to the server using the following command:

sh
Copy code
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Ensure that mysqldump is installed on the system for successful database backups.

This module ensures data protection by providing a structured approach to creating and managing backups.
