1. Change your database RDS instance security group to allow your machine to access it.
   • Add your ip to the security group to acces the instance via Postgres.
2. Make a copy of the database using pg_dump
   • $ pg_dump -h <public dns> -U <my username> -f <name of dump file .sql> <name of my database>
   • you will be asked for postgressql password.
   • a dump file(.sql) will be created
3. Restore that dump file to your local database.
   • but you might need to drop the database and create it first
   • $ psql -U <postgresql username> -d <database name> -f <dump file that you want to restore>

• the database is restored

Here is a workaround for the lack of a client credentials flow in Xero's OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect implementation.

From Xero's FAQ: https://developer.xero.com/faq/all/oauth-private
"Is there an equivalent of two-legged private apps in OAuth 2.0?
No, all users will follow the same OAuth 2.0 code flow. 
Once you have an access token and refresh token you can refresh indefinitely or until the token is revoked by the user."

Workaround:

1. Login to Xero as the Xero user to use for the machine-to-machine flow workaround.
