Default back up

I have a g1 running CM 4.2.5 and want to update to the newest build. What is the best way to back everything up like my home screen placement, apps and such or is there a good way to do this?

Run bart or something like it which is basically a Nandroid backup.

However to upgrade from 4.2.5 to 4.2.8.1 you just update and it will leave all your stuff alone other than some file updates, but your settings and apps and whatnot will be just where you left it.
