OK,
1) Backup your database into a file on your PC.
2) Do the upgrade.
3) If the upgrade goes wrong, delete the tables in phpmyadmin and run the MyBB installer again under the same database name.
4) Once installed, simply delete all the installed tables, and upload your backup.

Make sure you don't delete any files off the ftp when you upgrade. Simply upload the "install" directory again, as well as the config.php and the settings.php to the "inc" directory, overwriting the existing ones.
