Which "stuff"? Your apps, JB apps, or info? Next time be specific.
If you only mean your app store apps, then yes. Do a back up in iTunes, restore and update, Jailbreak, then restore from the backup. All of your stuff will be right where you left it.
If you meant JB apps and themes etc, then you can download aptbackup in cydia, open the app, tap backup. After doing that you can follow the normal steps. After you are rebooted and you have cydia installed, download aptbackup again, open the app and hit restore. All of your JB stuff will magically appear after a few minutes and a reboot.
This is all covered in detail already:

Indeed my friend. And I need a new one.....
BTW Tokio, I'd like to commend you on keeping everyone straight about all of this back up stuff today. You've really been on top of it, and even reassured me about a few things, so thanks.
No problem
OK, I just JB'ed using a hub on 10.5.6, and it worked fine-- for anyone else out there wondering about it...
Ok so i just bought my first iphone just a week ago and it was 2.2 i jb without a problem...sorry if i sound dumb, but would i go about jb it the same way this time, (updating official fw thru itunes, then use pwn to jb it)? also i'm using tmobile, so i currently have yellowsn0w installed, will it work with this new fw? i just went on cydia, and there was an update for yellowsn0w that i installed, so i'm wondering if that was for the new 2.2.1 anyone know?..thanks guys...
No. You cannot re-jailbreak with the new firmware yet. if you do so, you will lose your unlock. you have to wait until the dev team says it's okay. go monitor their page. they'll figure it out, they always do.
Woohoo. I just updated to 2.2.1 via pwnagetool on my macbook air rev b. I downgraded the usb to 10.5.5 since my os x is version 10.5.6 and everything is working. I love devteam.
I donated the last time but anyone who finds there's useful make sure to shoot 5 or 10 dollars there way.

If you are on a mac you can use pwnage tool to create a custom firmware without the baseband update:
T-Mobile sim not working
I have ATT and it works fine but I can't get my coworkers T-Mobile sim or his wifes to work it's an 8gig 2g iPhone. Any ideas?

JB Problems with 3G 2.2.1
I already updated my software but now want to JB my 3G running the current pack.
1. I made a custom ipsw with pwnage tool.
2. Pwnage tool wouldn't let me go into DFU because I have a new laptop (apparently there is some issue with that). I didn't get past that step in pwnage tool.
3. I *think* I was able to get into DFU myself by the hold-both-buttons-for-ten-seconds-then-release-the-sleep/wake-button-right-before-the-apple-appears-while-holding-the-home-button-for-ten-more-seconds-method.
4. I got the USB cord image telling me to plug my phone into iTunes.
5. iTunes recognizes my phone, says it needs to be restored, and I alt/option click restore.
6. I selected my custom ipsw
7. It extracts the software and starts restoring in AND THEN GIVES ME AN ERROR MESSAGE! Everytime!!
Question 1 - Can I manually transfer my custom ipsw to an old powerbook, restore my phone on there, and avoid the error message?
Question 2 - Am I getting the error message because pwnage tool didn't finish, because I'm on the latest laptop version, and/or both?
Question 3 - Will Quickpwn work around this easier?
