title: Transfer initial PostgreSQL database from development to Heroku production
body: <p>I have an initial set of production data stored locally in the development database that I'd like to migrate to production for a starting point for data. What's the best way to transfer this data?  </p>
  
  <p>It does not seem evident if there is a way to use <code>pgbackups</code> as per the instructions.  Perhaps I have to run a manual backup of some sort locally and then push it over with <code>pgbackups</code> and if that is the case, I'd appreciate some specific instructions on accomplishing this.</p>
