How do you backup your Laravel 8 projects?
I'm working on a capstone project for uni and I want to backup my code and database in case the worst happens. For now, I just zip my laravel project, export my database using phpmyadmin and upload it to Google Drive. I wanted a way to backup that's quick and easily retrievable, i.e. if I were to use the backup when the need arises, I won't worry about conflicts with code and with the project.
So far, these are what I've found https://www.nicesnippets.com/blog/laravel-8-backup-store-on-google-drive https://www.positronx.io/laravel-database-backup-with-spatie-tutorial-example/

I guess you are talking about during development?
If so I suggest using Git and GitHub or Gitlab.

@ellajhonm Back up what? Code? Database? User-uploaded files?

@martinbean Oh sorry, I forgot to include. I edited my answer. I'm working on a capstone project for uni and I want to backup my code and database in case the worst happens. If there's a means that can backup user uploaded files as well, that would be helpful too. I'll need to learn that as well.

Code : use git with github
Database/user files: Use spatie package or a service like ploi
