Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dflow-sh/dflow/issues/484

Problem

Currently, users cannot restore a backup to a newly created database. There is also no validation to prevent restoring a backup file of the wrong type (e.g., restoring a MongoDB backup to a PostgreSQL database).

Proposed Solution

Allow users to create a new database instance using an existing backup file.
Ensure the new database contains all the data from the backup file.
Implement backup file type validation to prevent users from restoring backups to incompatible database types (e.g., prevent restoring a MongoDB backup to a PostgreSQL database).
