Can Yunohost backups be restored to a server with a different hostname?

Restoring Backups Across Different Server Environments
The goal is to migrate a Yunohost installation to a new server instance using the standard backup and restore mechanism. This involves using a full backup archive containing application data, databases, and system configurations.
There is uncertainty regarding how the restoration process handles host-specific identifiers. Because the backup archives system settings, it is unclear if the restoration process can dynamically adapt to a target server that possesses a different hostname or IP address than the original source.
Does the yunohost backup --restore command support the automatic remapping of the hostname during the restoration process? If not, what is the recommended method for updating these network identifiers to ensure service availability without corrupting application configurations?
