If I have my orbitDB address, can I recreate the entire database on another machine?

A database can't be "recreated" without downloading the database from other peers. Knowing an address will allow user to open the database, which automatically connects to other peers who have the database open, and download the database which then "recreates" the database state locally, ie. replicate the database.
