Best way to observe and inspect the resulting backup/dump commands being invoked?

[emjayess]

I have a project using Laravel Backpack to manage database backups, on a project with multiple databases. Laravel Backpack wraps this package, which in turn, I guess, utilizes spatie/db-dumper...

DB Backups had been working just fine for a year or so, and then stopped working out of the blue. I'm seeing some error output (via email) having to do with a GTID issue, although to my knowledge the infra hasn't been altered (it's RDS MySQL 8, without replication).

I would like to be able to observe and also directly run the exact commands with all switches that db-dumper is attempting, but I don't know how to observe it, or if these are even logged?..

I also scoured the docs, and it isn't tremendously clear how to augment the backup command with additional switches. Some examples as possible via declarations in config, others not so much.
