How to download a backup of my Postgres?

Hey, I previously had a project on Railway and it was taken down because my credits ran out. I’m currently no longer using it, so I don’t see a need to upgrade to Pro Plan. But, is there a way to have a backup of the data in Postgres that I already have in that project? I’m reaching out since I just got a notification that all unused projects will soon be deleted. TIA!
