Important note: It is expected that you do a backup of your files and database. This should be a habit to backup before doing any update in your live website. Make sure that your backup is actually of any value in case you really need it. So verify your backup before proceeding with updating or even thinking of touching your live website.
A good way to test your backup is using it to create a copy of your website as test environment, see if you can actually restore it.
