Nick Bostrom has a paper relating to this.
ETA: So (presuming Bostrom's argument is correct, which it seems to be to me) if you ran two identical copies of your upload, there would be two separate copies of you experiencing the same things. Whether or not you should prefer this doesn't have an objective answer: it depends on whether or not you'd value that.
