    The parts you need to back up are the files and the database on your computer. You can save them to another directory on your PC ore Mac.

    The files are easy but read this for using phpMyadmin.

    With both the file and a complete backup saved, there’s not really much harm you can do in updating. If it goes badly then you can restore the backups.

    It should not go badly, but making that backup first is a very good thing.
