App Backups don't preserve aliases or redirects

Should they?

Good question.

In the very early days, we used to have the location as part of the Backup. When restoring, it would revert back the location. I think almost unanimously everyone though this was a bad idea. It's not expected for location to get restored, only the data.

I will move this to Feature Request and we can discuss further.

Yes, I can see how that would make sense, however, keeping the subdomains while allowing for the domain.tld to change is I think the best of both worlds. If there needs to be a checkbox at restore to keep or discard subdomains, that would be a bonus.
