Am currently using Xcode Version 12.1 (12A7403)
About a week ago the App Store tried to update Xcode but went nowhere for hours. The update is dated 10/25
So from a linkI was able to downloaded Xcode 12.1.1 dated 10/30
from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
According to the Apple website, the download is Xcode 12.1.1 dated 10/30
Now sure which to do, or if there's a way I can backup my current Xcode and it's settings just in case something goes wrong.
Has anyone experienced this as well?

Generally, recent Xcodes can co-exist with other versions.
When you download some version of Xcode from the more links, you can unarchive the xip file with double clicking.
Rename it before it is moved to Applications folder. For example, Xcode to Xcode12.1.1.
And then you can move it to Applications and run it, with keeping the old version of Xcode there.
I keep the latest version of Xcode from App Store as Xcode in Application, and install other versions as XcodeXX.YY.
Xcode versions share app settings and you would rarely find difficulties about settings.
