So which measures can we take to prevent data loss after iOS upgrade?

Choice 1: Back up iOS data manually with iTunes

Open iTunes, and your iOS device (e.g. iPhone) is shown on the right bottom side of iTunes interface.
Click it and go to its main interface.
Under Summaryoption, click Back Up Now in Backups part.

Then back up message and progress can be seen at the top of iTunes window. The iTunes backup file is usually saved in these folders. You can go to check them.

Windows 8/8.1: Users>USERNAME>AppData>Roaming>Apple Computer>MobileSync>Backup
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

Choice 2: Sync your iOS device to iTunes automatically once connected

The iTunes backup also saved in the same location as manually back up iOS device with iTunes.

Measure 2: Make a iCloud backup for iOS device

Before you back up your iOS device data to iCloud, please make sure iCloud Backup is turned on , and Wi-Fi and Apple ID are available. Your iOS device is not locked because of passcode forgot.

Navigate to Settings - iCloud - Restore & Backup - Back Up Now, while you have signed to iCloud with Apple ID. If not, sign in to iCloud when you are prompted.

With backup in hand after iOS upgrade, if we want the previous data on iOS device are still on it now, we have to restore iOS device data from backup.

However, how can we restore iOS device data after iOS upgrade from backup?

Restore iOS from iTunes backup or iCloud backup is OK.
But are there any other more effective ways to recover iOS data?
Surely there are. For example, iOS Data Genius gives users privileges to scan iTunes backup file first to see what are saved in it, so users can choose what they want to recover, or recover all the data from iTunes backup file.
