Hi,

I notice that if a DB Upgrade needs to be performed, it will try upgrade the database, but if there was already a backup of the DB from a previous upgrade, it then fails.

[WaWorkerHost.exe]	at org.neo4j.server.Bootstrapper.main(Bootstrapper.java:52)
[WaWorkerHost.exe] Caused by: org.neo4j.kernel.impl.storemigration.StoreUpgrader$UnableToUpgradeException: Cannot proceed with upgrade because there is an existing upgrade backup in the way at C:\AzureTemp\neo4j-db\upgrade_backup. If you do not need this backup please delete it or move it out of the way before re-attempting upgrade.

I am wondering, would it not be better to have support for multiple backup folders.
