Even though I installed Libretime recently (a few months ago), I noticed as I was backing up in preparation to upgrade, that the database is called “airtime” and not “libretime”.  
Will I still be able to do a clean upgrade? Should I rename the database first?

Ok, looking at the code it seems like airtime is still the database name. Maybe the backup instructions are just anticipating a future change.

We are slowly trying to rename everything to libretime.

And the database name is not important, the configuration file should point to the proper database.

The configuration defaults are using libretime but the installer stills uses airtime, this is gonna change soon.
