Just do the upgrade and stop panicking about backing up... I've never backup before an upgrade and never had a problem...

Are you doing a standard iOS update i.e. one that apple is is recommending?  If you are. This shouldn't cause you to lose your apps... It is normally just an advisory to back it up... If you are unsure call Apple support...
