Can I create a backup for Postgres, restore an older backup, dump data from it and restore again from the most recent backup i just made? Will that work?

yea, when you click restore, what railway does is it creates a new volume with that data in it, so you retain your current data anyway

Your process will be something like:

  1. Create a current backup (juust in case)
  2. Restore old backup
  3. Mount new volume containing old backup data to service
  4. Do what you need to do
  5. Mount the original volume back
