Upgrade should be smooth.  Did you downgrade due to a problem?  If so what
was it?

And its good to backup $prefix/lists $prefix/archives $prefix/data

And in case you have custom web pages/messages, $prefix/templates and
$prefix/messages

And if your the paraniod sysadmin type..  just backup all of $prefix/
