Question Restore full host backup on host with new IP address

Hi there,

My question is theoretical as I'm thankfully not in the situation of having to restore a backup at that point. Still, I'm just wondering what approach I'll have to use.

I understand that Plesk offers various commands to backup, restore, migrate a Plesk installation. In my particular case, I'm not using those. I'm running Plesk in a LXC container so the easiest way to do a backup is to simply make a full container backup. I guess you can look at it as a full host backup.

So, I guess it's easy enough to restore from a backup if all remains the same. But what if, for example, I have to restore it to a host with another IP address? What additional steps will be necessary?
