Running artisan command from controller or route

Question

I use Spatie Laravel package I can take backup by running this command

php artisan backup:run

but I want to take back up form admin panel and running this command form controller, I create a route and controller and in the controller, I do this

public function backup(){
    \Artisan::call('backup:run');
    return "successfully!";
}

when I route to this finally I got the success message but in the backup file, nothing added.

https://github.com/spatie/laravel-backup this library uses the same logic I think maybe you can check it out — Anar Bayramov, Apr 12 '18 at 06:47
@AnarBayramov I use that and I can take a backup file.But I want to take this back up from control panel each time that admin want — Nasser Ali Karimi, Apr 12 '18 at 06:48

this doesn't only occur with this package, I was trying to backup my db without using this package. I made my own command using `exec()` and it works in CLI, however when it is called from controller/route nothing happened — Idris Akbar Adyusman, Nov 12 '20 at 18:44

You can put artisan command in sheduler. It will make back up for example every day at the same time. You do it in app/console/Kernel.php

$schedule->command('backup:run')->daily();

Remember to set your server for cron jobs:

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