Feature #1507
Require user interaction before uprading database and allow making a backup first.

Description
So we've upgraded quassel on our server only to discover the new version crashes beyond usability. However, since upon starting quasselcore it immediately updated the database without any prior warning or backup, I'm now stuck with database that's incompatible with the previous version. I really do think that potentially destructive, non-trivially reversible actions such as database schema upgrade should not happen without prior warning.
I would like to request that whenever quasselcore needs to perform a database update, it refuses to start and explicitly requests confirmation e.g. via additional command-line option. Additionally, it would probably be a good idea to suggest user to make a backup while at it.

Updated this to a feature request as it's more that than a bug report. No details were provided of the issue the OP had with the database, so can't really trace down a rare bug that way.
