I'd guess it's ok to just set up a new exit node on the same IP and everything should be fine but I'm not quite 100% sure on this.
I find it surprising that you are able to do that, is the provider not mad at you for having one of their servers seized? Or even if yours, for causing a commotion and ruckus in their datacenter.
And another question about this topic: Would it be better to create a new exit from scratch or is it ok to restore the latest backup with all keys, etc. ?
It is certainly not okay to run a node keeping the same private key that the police now has. You should start from scratch, and I think the procedure is actually such that the Tor project will blacklist the affected fingerprint.
