Your plan is correct.
coreaddendum first, then reboot.
Next platsvc, appsrv and media engine, then reboot.

As for the backup... It is certainly safest if you take a backup first.

My experience is: if you take the time to do a backup, you won't need it. If you don't take a backup first, something will go wrong.

Again, this is maybe just my luck emoticon

In a production environment, I would recommend backing up, just in case. Nothing will stop you from upgrading without backing up, but if something were to go wrong, you'd be a lot happier for creating a system backup.

Find instructions for backing up here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuae/2_5/english/administration/guide/backup.html

The Administration Guide describes the backup and restore process.
Here is a direct link to the particular section
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuae/2_5/english/administration/guide/backup.html

Essentially cuae-backup will backup the 'mce' database, any other additional databases in MySQL will need to be specified manually (read the section in the admin guide for directions).

So what other databases are there is probably your next question...

If you'd like to see what all databases are contained in your MySQL installation do something like:
c:\> mysql -u root -p
Enter Password: *******

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

mysql> list databases;
------------------

Database
------------------

ciscodevicelistx
icanhaz
mce
mce_standby
mysql
test
------------------
