Description
It would be really nice to have the possibility to restore backups directly during the setup of a new instance.
use case:
Imagine you run your Nextcloud on a small server at home, doing backups regularly with this app. All of the sudden the server is broken, e.g. a disk failure. You go to the computer shop, buy a new home server or hard disk, install Nextcloud and during the setup you point it directly to the backup server. Your new Nextcloud fetches now the backup during the setup, and a few hours later your system is back as normal like nothing would have happened.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the new-instance setup flow and the existing backup restore path, then determine how a backup server could be selected and restored during setup. Done would mean a fresh instance can recover from an existing backup as part of setup.
