I am creating a Rails app for work and until I can install the app on a “in house” server, I am deploying it to Heroku so that we can start using it now. However, I am going to want to be able to copy its database with all of its data over to the final production server when I ready. I am assuming this is somehow possible, but I don’t know where to start. Is there a way you can copy a production database (Postgres) from Heroku and move it to a new server to be used there? How would one go about doing this with Rails?

Heroku provides all of this functionality via the PGBackups plugins. There you’ll find everything you need to know about importing, exporting, etc…
