Updating iOS will delete XBMC. Don't do this because you don't know how long it might take for a new jailbreak to come out that will let you reinstall XBMC.
To update XBMC:
Install XBMC on ATV2 or
Install XBMC on iPhone/iPad.
To backup get Cyberduck or Filezilla, use SFTP (not FTP), username:mobile, password:alpine and navigate to
var/mobile/Library/Preferences/
and save the XBMC/ folder

Actually I just read tonight (or was it last night..) that Cyberduck was cross platform! I don't know how I missed that before, having used it for years. And now I hear from you that Filezilla is also cross platform! I guess I just assumed Cyberduck was Mac only, and I had heard from other Windows users that they had used a program called Filezilla and assumed it was only for Windows.
So really it's just been out of plain 'ol ignorance, but the upside is I get a new file transfer program to play with!
