Description
Given that I have created a backup, can this be used on a fresh install of a new host, with a new hostname and/or IP-address(es)?
Some context: When I deploy a nextcloud instance in a cloud setting using juju (https://charmhub.io/nextcloud), my instances get new IP/hostnames all the time, so restoring from a backup which can manage this would be great.

Review the backup and restore workflow for a fresh Nextcloud install, focusing on whether a backup can be restored when the host name and IP addresses change. Consider the Juju deployment context linked in the issue and define whether this scenario is supported or what changes would be needed; done means a clear, tested answer or an agreed implementation scope.
