Hello, I plan to migrate my rancher setup to a new cluster. Based on the migration doc, I have 2 questions: 1. What happens if rancher (fresh install) is already installed on the new cluster? Can I consider it as a simple "restore"? 2. it is mentionned to add
prune: false
when restoring the backup. What does it do exactly?

My understanding is that if you try to do a "restore" on a new cluster which has rancher installed then the keys and configurations which are set during the setup process are likely to come into conflict.

Sure, but my new rancher cluster is fresh, and I don't care if some settings are overwritten. But I'll do some tests on test cluster to see differences, to avoid some issues 😉
