Heroku transfer db from one app to another

Question

I need to transfer db from app_1 to app_2

I created backup on app_1

Then ran:

heroku pg:backups restore HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR --app app_2 heroku

Answer 1

As per the website the addon is depreciated. So that could be the reason for the failure message.

Backups as an add-on has been deprecated.

Since your aim is to move the db from one app to another, why don't you try the instructions mentioned in the link below.
