How to download a database from the backups and set it up on a different environment?

Yes, you can restore a backup to a separate environment.

Alternatively, you can also use the database from one environment into another environment:

1. Export the database to your local computer with:

   platform db:dump --gzip

2. Import the database export onto a different Environment

   platform sql -e <ENVIRONMENT_NAME> < my_database_backup.sql.gz
