xBackup question

if make backups of jb phone on regular basis (meaning safeguard against virus or system failure rather prior upgrading firmware) can explain in semi-laymens terms steps follow that?

whenever see description of backing-up using xbackup, seems it's done prior changing ios.

iphone 4s 5.0.1

thank you,
