The machine head wearing Strange Resistance Lady at the Resistance Camp gives us the best insight:

Since there doesn’t seem to be a way to transfer the actual physical body of an android, it is most likely that the bodies to be used are constructed within the transporter itself.

After dying, an android's body may be retrieved or repaired by another android, perhaps even the previous owner of said body.

When it comes to death, if faced with a dangerous situation that will likely result in their bodies being destroyed, androids will attempt to upload their personal data to prevent ‘’losing themselves’’. This action can be seen both in the prologue and during the beginning of Route C

Should they be unable to do this however, an android’s backup data, which is stored on the Bunker’s servers, will be used in their reconstructed body, which is what would’ve happened to 9S at the end of Route A/B, had he not been able to transfer his data over to the network.
