`Heroku pg:backups capture` gives "Resource not found" error

When running this command - either locally or through Codeship.io - I get an error message saying "Resource not found"

$ heroku pg:backups capture
 !    Resource not found

The problem started 2 days ago and thus my first guess was that it's because of the transfer from the old to the new PGBackups on Heroku (mapping guide). This is not the case, the command syntax is already in the new format.

For reference my local toolbelt version: 

$ heroku version
heroku-toolbelt/3.33.0 (x86_64-darwin10.8.0) ruby/1.9.3
You have no installed plugins.
Solution

  • Try to specify your database. For example, if you use ROSE:

    heroku pg:backups capture HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_ROSE
