This is so easy to do also! I bet most moodle forum administrators wish that moodle admins would do this simple simple procedure.
- Export the entire database using phpmyadmin. (takes like 2 mins to do)
- Zip the entire moodle installation and download the zip file.
- (*cough* test your backups by restoring to a laptop *cough*)
Then you can upgrade. If you find an terrible problem, it's super easy to downgrade.

For a "quick return", I FTP to a different directory (/moodletest), backup my config.php file and proceed with the new test install.
If everything worked well, I go in and rename the current live directory to /moodleworks), rename the moodletest directory to what the live directory was and test it all out.
If things do not go the way I plan, I simply rename the directory and config file back and I am in full operation again.
And yes, I also have a full backup on an external hard drive of the working moodle and data directorys "just in case". This has saved me when I played around too much and messed it all up.
A simple ftp copying and I was back up.
I also use this backup to restore any customization and plugins that I did in the previous version.
