Hi Jochen, generally updating the database shouldn't be an issue as this is handled by the migration scripts that incrementally update your db schema to match the version. But I would do a backup just in case. For the outdated ini files you can use the tool called Meld to spot differences between yours and the .sample files. Björn pointed me to this tool after opening this <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/3410> PR.
