Backup Multiple Laravel Sites

If you’re like me and use Laravel Forge to host multiple websites on a single Digital Ocean server, then you may have run into the issue where you need to backup all the sites on your server. You could run Spatie Laravel Backup package on each site but a better solution would be to just deploy a single backup application to the server so you can backup multiple sites. This means you can backup multiple types of sites including WordPress.

I came across a great article from Tim MacDonald. Check it out here

Another option is to use SnapShooter for all your server backusp including MySql. SnapShooter is a simple tool to enable more frequent backups of major server providers, while also providing support for offsite backups your choose of S3 provider.
