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
superuserpermissions.What you could do instead is to use the
pg_dumpcommand and manually export your data and then import it to your new database as described here:https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/postgresql/how-to/import-databases/
You could also reach out to the DigitalOcean support team for further assistance:
Hope that helps!
