To update to latest version do i select "update BH image"or do i select "Firmware update"BH version:
menu>information>about
The latest BH version available on this site is always the best to use!
currently running BH 2.0.8
what's the difference between a full and personal backup and do you backup to the hard drive or usb stick.Rather than flash the update can i just click on the "update BH image" button in my box menu.Can i also do the same with the firmware icon

Full backup, as its name says, it's a full image backup and can only be restored flashing it as doing with a new image, so it can't be used for upgrading an image but only to completely revert to a previous situation.
BTW I don't suggest to use the update functions, see:
http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/howto-flash-update-vu-images.11819/
I prefer backupping to an external USB storage.

Backup will not help as you will have a change of kernel, use an FTP client to backup your personal files and start from scratch.
Backed up my files using goldwafers control centre 2013 version 0.7.Had an error saying VuCC.ini file missing in C:/ Would it be ok to update to new BH image with this error in the backup or will i need to start again

It's a VUCC problem. Image into box is not responsable for that.
If i load the new BH version and there's a problem could i still restore these saved settings even though it has this error ?
You use the back up option, in the menu.
Most owners ahve a built in hard drive, so store the backup there, then on loading a new version, of Black Hole, it will ask if you want to restore your settings, to which you say yes. If you haven't got an internal hard Drive then you can format, and use, a USB stick.
Most of this depends on your satellite setup, if only using a fixed dish, for one satellite, it's easy to just start again, but if using a motorized, or multi LNB setup, then it takes time to set everything up again.

I thought so,i chose "start up stb" instead of"restore settings".With my motorized dish do i then have to re-configure it again or will these values stop the same as in the previous BH version
I had version 2.0.8 loaded when i bought the box from Goldwafers which i did a full back up of before loading version 2.1.4.Now back on original version with everything running ok.I tried to do a personal backup as well but it said no personal items found.
