Is there a specific process to rollback and upgrade if any issues are encountered? I did not see anything outlined in the manual, obviously we can take a backup and restore from that, but was just curious if there was any other specifics. Thanks!

No, taking the backup before the upgrade is your only choice (and the installer will do so if the gateway is running at the start of the process).
