sure. fallback is very easy. just restore the backup you took before you started the migration.

you may consider telling us more about your environment, as fallback procedures can depend on your hard and software environment.

you should also consider to read the migration guide, it also contains fallback procedures (afaik).

you should also consider to get all this information BEFORE you migrate, as you may miss steps during migration that prevent you to perform a successfull fallback.

It's here, where it says:

Quote:
Prior to the installation or migration of any software, you are recommended to make a full backup of your system to ensure that you can recreate the system to its original working environment should any problems occur.
