Our database is north of 20GB and backups work fine. They made improvements to this in Jan 21, which might have improved this? https://blog.heroku.com/faster-postgres-backups

We have a:

- ~500gb one fails to backup

- ~1tb one fails to backup

- ~100gb one succesfuly backups

The link where I got that number is here - https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-backup...

Ours is 170Gb and backups work, but it have continues protection which is always available no matter the size of the DB, but i think OP mean dumps that he can download and store offsite
You're right, my bad! Regarding continuous protection that works flawlessly as it has saved us 2-3 times already!
