laravel-backup: Not an 'issue' just a question.. - mysqldump not found on windows.

Running this on windows, I get this error that mysqldump is not recognized.

C:\inetpub\PHPBackupTool>php artisan backup:run
Starting backup...
Dumping database msol_license_tracker...
Backup failed because The dump process failed with exitcode 1 : General error : '"mysqldump"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

In my config\database.php I’ve added this

'dump' => [
    'dump_binary_path' => 'C:\\PROGRA~1\\MySQL\\MYSQLS~1.7\\bin\\',
],

Any thoughts on what I am getting wrong with the path formatting?

Why go through all this in the first place?

Sure, I could have gone with setDumpBinaryPath. But it’s common for config values in Laravel to use underscores instead of using camelCasing. Having users set dump_binary_path is much more natural then letting them set setDumpBinaryPath.
