i did see the "failsafe" tutorial, but i thought i had seen a step by step somewhere, including what/how to backup, etc.
i actually haven't connected to iTunes since my initial jailbreak that i can remember, so i assume my order of operations would be:
1) get the latest version of iTunes installed on my desktop
2) connect my iPad and do a full backup (i assume there is a one-click button somewhere in iTunes)
3) do a full upgrade to iOS 7.04 (again, i assume that iTunes has a one-click button for this)
****make a decision to jailbreak or not****
If NO, then restore my iPad from the backup
If YES, follow the Evasi0n7 tutorial, jailbreak, then restore my backup from iTune
ok, i did the backup... it seemed to be a "essential files" backup to iCloud, and a full backup to my computer... it didn't offer a backup to iTunes. I assume everything is backed up somewhere where iTunes can get to it... is that a safe assumption?
now, i have two choices for the upgrade to iOS7... do i selected "update" or "restore iPad"?
thanks again, and sorry for what are likely no-brainer questions ;-)

EDIT: It did not back up anything to either iCloud or iTunes, only to my computer
