I am trying to migrate my postgres database from ninefold to heroku.

The command I'm using to export is:

PGPASSWORD=password pg_dump -h ipaddress -p port -U user -d database -Fc --no-acl --no-owner -x -O -N postgis > ninefold-backup.dump

Then uploading to S3, then running this command:

heroku pg:backups restore 'https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/bucket/ninefold-backup.dump' DATABASE_URL -a app --confirm app

Then heroku reports:

An error occurred and your backup did not finish.

Please run `heroku pg:backups info r003` for details.

In the logs it shows errors like these:

2015-05-23 22:32:36 +0000: pg_restore: creating COMMENT EXTENSION xml2
2015-05-23 22:32:36 +0000: pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 5157; 0 0 COMMENT EXTENSION xml2

2015-05-23 22:07:39 +0000: Command was: COPY topology (id, name, srid, "precision", hasz) FROM stdin;

What am I missing?

Found a way. There seemed to be some problem with the extensions that Ninefold was using so by adding a -n public option, it would create the backup only the public schema.

PGPASSWORD=password pg_dump -h ipaddress -p port -U user -d database -Fc --no-acl --no-owner -x -O -N postgis -n public > ninefold-backup.dump
