If i do a backup via acp.
acp>tools and maintenance> backup> and then make a backup of all the tables and save it to my desktop will that work if something goes wrong?

It should. You should verify the backup and make sure it's not corrupt before you go forward with the upgrade

How so.

Install a test forum and import the backup to that. If all the data gets imported, it's a good backup. You shouldn't assume it's OK when you download it, some people have done that and seen it's incomplete or corrupted and it's too late by then.
