A backup will indeed be done before the forum is upgraded.

Out of interest, what has been upgraded? Can't notice any obvious changes.

The upgrade was, for the most part, an upgrade of the forum software. A brief overview of the changes in the main upgrade:
  • Social group discussions
  • Social group categories
  • Private message sorting and filtering
  • Private message history
  • Quick edit for newer types of content (visitor messages and picture comments)
  • Social group icons
  • Social group transfers
  • Private message quick reply
  • Private message throttling (limit messages sent over a time period)
  • Private message reporting
  • Profile privacy (limit blocks to a subset of users)
  • Lightbox navigation
  • Thread prefix permissions
  • Dismissible notices

Additionally, as Kimi has stated, there's now a thank you button which was added after the upgrade.
