OK. Supposing I try to root my device by doing the One Click method - How to Root Samsung Galaxy S i9000 in One Click Tutorial | Samsung Mobile Phones

Am I going to lose any data?
Am I going to lose any carrier (i.e. orange) specific settings?
What happens if I upgrade the firmware late - will I lose root?

Is there any way to backup before I try this?
If it goes wrong is my phone going to be screwed?
