How would a migration handle storage on DO Spaces?

I'm looking to do a migration from one self-hosted instance to another self-hosted instance. I am using a DO spaces for my storage bucket on Appwrite and was wondering how a migration would affect this? If I have the same DO env vars setup on the new self-hosted instance, would the migration duplicate the files, or would it just copy the metadata across from the old self-hosted instance?

TL;DR
Developers want to migrate from one self-hosted instance to another on Appwrite using DO Spaces for storage. A new bucket is required for the migration. Manually copying the database to the new instance is necessary. Simply input the credentials in the new instance. The migration will not duplicate files but instead copy metadata from the old instance.

You just need to enter the credentials in the new instance

But you will need to copy the database in the new instance

Obviously manually and not with the migration script

In order to make it with the migration script, you need a new DO spaces bucket
