Forge UI backups vs laravel-backup package

Just wanted to see what the pros and cons of upgrading and using forge backups or implementing laravel-backup package from Spaite and setting it to back up daily?

Thanks

Hi @cushty,

A far as I know (I'm using Laravel Forge during the last 2 years) Laravel Forge only have the option to backup databases, but don't the files.

I add Spatie Backup on my projects against AWS S3 to save both, database & files, but I set the Laravel Forge database backup too in order to have a redundant system.

Please or to participate in this conversation.
