Get postgres snapshot from Amazon RDS I can not find a simple way to get a copy of the nightly backup I take of my Amazon RDS postgres instance so I can restore it on my local machine to play with.

Right now I'm doing a pg_dump when I need a copy, but it would be nicer (and faster, presumably) to be able to download those snapshots. Is this not possible?
You can't download a snapshot from RDS you have to use a tool like pg_dump
