I would be upgrading from the media wiki 1.6 to 1.16

Make sure your host has PHP 5 (rather than PHP 4).
What files
would I need to backup on the database and once done do I need to reinsert
those files into the database or should the files in the database carry

upgrade goes smoothly, you will not need to re-import your backup.
