It's not something I generally do as we have our production servers 
backed up nightly. But:

Assuming you have it installed in /srv/ixpmanager then I'd:


1. put it in maintenance mode as Dominik suggests;

2. take a MySQL dump:

mysqldump --lock-tables --quick --skip-events --triggers -h <host> -u 
<username> -p<password> ixpmanager | bzip2 -9 
 >/srv/ixpmanager/db-20200323.sql.bz2

3. rsync the directory:

rsync -a /srv/ixpmanager/ /srv/ixpmanager-20200323

4. Upgrade


Your rollback then is a database restore and just shift the directories 
around:


mv /srv/ixpmanager /srv/ixpmanager-failed
mv /srv/ixpmanager-20200323 /srv/ixpmanager
