db: refactor to clarify that we always invoke SA create_all with checkfirst=False

create_all(checkfirst=True) would skip creating tables that already exist,
potentially leaving them with wrong schema.

We are strict and want a successful create_all to leave all the tables in a
fully known state. We thus want it to fail if any tables already are present.
Existing tables should not silently be accepted.
.. _backup:

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================


Settings
--------

Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.


Whoosh index
------------

The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located


Database
--------

When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.

A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
