It's difficult to say without knowing more of the background (for
example, which version of Myth was the database last used in).
Theoretically installing mythbackend should pick up the existing
mythconverg database and upgrade the schema to the correct version.
Personally I would backup the mythconverg database manually first, just
to be on the safe side.
Cheers,
John
