Hello,

In addition to what has already been mentioned, you can follow the steps from the official documentation here too:

Hi @eatingnavysnorkler,

You should be able to manage this by dumping your data into a file. Afterward, you can just import this data into any instance you want.

To do that, you can run something like

  1. pg_dump -h use_your_host -U use_your_username -Fc use_your_dbname > dbdump.pgsql
