How to get the backup list programatically?

[Synchro]

I can see the list of backups using artisan backup:list, but how can I get a list of them programatically?

Take a look at the code of that command. Should be fairly straightforward to understand what is going on.

In case anyone else wants to do this, here's how I extracted this info into a simple array structure:

    public function getBackupInfo()
    {
        $statuses = BackupDestinationStatusFactory::createForMonitorConfig(config('backup.monitor_backups'));
        $info = [];
        foreach ($statuses as $status) {
            $destination = $status->backupDestination();
            $backups = $destination->backups();
            $destInfo = [
                'name' => $destination->backupName(),
                'disk' => $destination->diskName(),
                'storageType' => $destination->filesystemType(),
                'reachable' => $destination->isReachable(),
                'healthy' => $status->isHealthy(),
                'count' => $backups->count(),
                'storageSpace' => $destination->usedStorage(),
                'backups' => [],
            ];
            foreach ($backups as $backup) {
                $destInfo['backups'][] = [
                    'path' => $backup->path(),
                    'date' => $backup->date(),
                    'size' => $backup->sizeInBytes(),
                ];
            }
            $info[] = $destInfo;
        }
        return $info;
    }

Thank you very much, and researching the documentation and reading the code to create this list, 😅, saved me a lot of time.
