Laravel 5: How do you copy a local file to Amazon S3?

Question

I\'m writing code in Laravel 5 to periodically backup a MySQL database. My code thus far looks like this:

    $filename = \'database_backup_\'.date(\'G_a_m_d_y\

There is a way to copy files without needing to load the file contents into memory.

You will also need to import the following:

use League\Flysystem\MountManager;

Now you can copy the file like so:

$mountManager = new MountManager([
    's3' => \Storage::disk('s3')->getDriver(),
    'local' => \Storage::disk('local')->getDriver(),
]);
$mountManager->copy('s3://path/to/file.txt', 'local://path/to/output/file.txt');
