Question

Kept getting

DATABASE_URL does not match any of your databases
! Could not resolve database DATABASE
!
! Available databases:

when I try to transfer from production to my staging

pgbackups:capture –app myapp

pgbackups:restore DATABASE heroku pgbackups:url --app myapp –app myapp-staging

Answer 1

From http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/pgbackups#transfers

heroku pgbackups:capture --app myapp
heroku pgbackups:restore DATABASE `heroku pgbackups:url --app myapp` --app myapp-staging

The back ticks are important! Are you using the correct application name passed into –app?
