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.

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
