This is a summary page for what can be found in the heroku docs.
This assumes that you've properly configured/logged into your heroku cli.
You can then run the command listed below.
- Note that
DATABASE_URL
should be left as is, not replaced. - However
SOURCE-APP-NAME
,DESTINATION-APP-NAME
, andb000
should be replaced with the correct values everywhere they appear.-
b000
is the backup number that can be found on the heroku backups dashboard.
-
heroku pg:backups:restore `heroku pg:backups:url --app SOURCE-APP-NAME` DATABASE_URL --app DESTINATION-APP-NAME --confirm DESTINATION-APP-NAME
OR
heroku pg:backups:restore SOURCE-APP-NAME::b000 DATABASE_URL --app DESTINATION-APP-NAME --confirm DESTINATION-APP-NAME
