Laravel Space/laravel-backup cannot be installed

Question

I'm trying to implement automatic backups in Laravel 8. I decided to use the Laravel-backup package "spatie/laravel-backup".

The problem occurs when I try to install the package using "composer require spatie/laravel-backup".

I encountered this problem:

Issue 1 - spatie/laravel-backup[8.1.0, ..., v8.x-dev] requires illuminate/console^9.0 -> Found illuminate/console[v9.0.0-beta. 1, ... , 9.x-dev] but these are not loaded, probably because it conflicts with another requirement. - Root composer.json requires spatie/laravel-backup ^8.1 ->Can be satisfied by spatie/laravel-backup[8.1.0, 8.1.1, 8.1.2, v8.x-dev].

I tried running these commands from a similar question and nothing changed in the answer:

-composer requires spatie/laravel-backup "^8.1" --ignore-platform-reqs

-Composer requires spatie/laravel-medialibrary

I also tried removing the vendor and composer.lock and then running composer install and the problem persisted.

I guess there is something wrong with my composer.json file:

composer require spatie/laravel-backup --ignore-platform-req=ext-zip
