I have a decently large DB that I’m trying to pull down locally from heroku via db:pull.
I never can stick around my machine long enough to keep it from going to sleep, effectively killing the connection and terminating the process. GOTO 1.
I know I could change my system settings to stop my computer from sleeping, which would keep the connection alive, but is there a way to continue a previous pull?
Or maybe the solution is just not to use db:pull for a large db.
heroku db:pull supports resuming. When you start a pull it will create a .dat file in your project (and get rid of it when it’s completed). You can do:
to start the pull from the previous location.
Heroku pgbackups maybe a better option to grab the large Db file – http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/pgbackups.
Although I’d be more inclined to prevent your computer from sleeping – just disable the sleep functionality during the downloading from settings/control panel depending on OS.
