This is probably is going to need more information but in the meantime.
pg_dump switches -a data only -O no-owner(do not restore object
ownership) -x no-privileges(do not dump GRANT/REVOKE commands)
I am not sure what you mean by update on the local machine. If you mean
start from scratch when you run restore then the above switches will
help. If you mean only restore differences between the local and remote
machines then you will need to go down a different path
