by chance do you know what exactly does "fleet prepare db" if the database is already initialized and with data from a previous version of kolide?

It performs the SQL migrations. If there are no migrations to run, it does nothing. We use
fleet prepare db
as the
ExecStartPre
in our systemd service file

No data wiping. It runs the SQL statements contained here: https://github.com/kolide/fleet/tree/master/server/datastore/mysql/migrations
Of course, you should always make sure you have a backup before performing migrations

Fleet migrations are designed to maintain your data. That said we absolutely recommend performing backups before running migrations. Basically agreeing with everything @sundsta said.
