Yeah, that could be easier, but I couldn’t figure out how to automate the destroying of that single bundle to make room for the new one. If this isn’t a problem anymore, or you have a solution, please let me know!
Sam Rodgersbundle=backup
app=myapp
heroku bundles:capture $bundle –app $app
sleep 15 # the capture takes a few seconds…
heroku bundles:download $bundle –app $app
heroku bundles:destroy $bundle –app $app
Thanks for the helpful advices. It seems capturing a bundle is a more preferred way for backups. But I have a question: how to restore the raw dump file ‘pgdump.sql’, which is included in the downloaded bundle, to the database on Heroku?
You get 1 backup free.
$ heroku bundles:capture
$ heroku bundles:download
Keep it someplace
