[Spatie](https://spatie.be) is a webdesign agency based in Antwerp, Belgium.

Open source software is used in all projects we deliver. Laravel, Nginx, Ubuntu are just a few of the free pieces of software we use every single day. For this, we are very grateful. 
When we feel we have solved a problem in a way that can help other developers, we release our code as open source software [on GitHub](https://spatie.be/opensource).

This backup package was made by [Freek Van der Herten](https://twitter.com/freekmurze). There are [many other contributors](https://github.com/spatie/laravel-backup/graphs/contributors) who devoted time and effort to make this package better.

A big thank you to [Gilbert West](https://github.com/blueclock) and [Jean-Philippe Murray](https://github.com/jpmurray) for proofreading. [Sebastian De Deyne](https://github.com/sebastiandedeyne) made sure the memory use of the package is kept in check. [Daniël Klabbers](https://github.com/Luceos) gave me some useful ideas on how to make the package better.
