Hey @austinlee,

I believe that the migration tool is for migrating data to a managed instance and would not work for migrating data out of the managed instance as it would lack the superuser permissions.

What you could do instead is to use the pg_dump command and manually export your data and then import it to your new database as described here:

You could also reach out to the DigitalOcean support team for further assistance:

Hope that helps!
