If i get it right, the database and some other things are modified, when updating from 4.8.x to 5.0.x. That's why I think its a good idea, to backup old Darktable data. The question is, should I only backup the sqlite database or also the sidecar files?

I always thought the sidecars are not touched unless you edit an image. And even in that case they should be very solid. All these years using darktable and never an issue
