I've read on the forums that before you upgrade your iphone, you should back it up. How is this done? Are they talking about just syncing everything in iTunes, Outlook, etc.?

Thanks
 
Right click your device in the left pane in iTunes and click backup. It backs up all your settings, SMS, email wifi networks you have joined etc.

Thanks, just did this after reading your post.

When people talk about restarting their phone, does that mean just turning it off and on with the on/off button on the top?

Yeah just do a power down and turn it back on ;)
