Configuring the Backups
Before using this feature, you have to set your MySQL dump binary path with the variable DB_DUMP_BINARY_PATH in the /.env file.
Example with MAMP on Mac OS: DB_DUMP_BINARY_PATH=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/.
Note: You have to set only the path, so without mysqldump.
If local disk is used, you can get the backups on your server in the /storage/backups/ directory.
Important: The /storage/backups/ directory is NOT the MySQL dump binary (mysqldump) path. So if you don't know your server's mysqldump path, you have to contact your host to get more information about that.
