Updating theme and restoring theme options

Hey Jason,
This may seem like a noob question, but what’s the best process for updating the theme? I just tried uploading the new zip in WordPress, and it complained that this theme/directory already exists. I tried moving the jumpstart theme folder up to /wp-content, then hiding the /framework/themeblvd.php reference in my child functions.php, and I was able to successfully upload v2.0.2 (then I deleted the old jumpstart directory). But then I discovered all of my theme settings were gone! So:
1. How can I use the built-in WordPress theme upload function to update Jumpstart?
2. How can I restore my theme settings? If nothing else, I saw in another thread that these are in the wp_options table. I have a copy of this database, so what’s the option_name to look for? I don’t find any option named “jumpstart”.
Thanks!
