It depends what the patch contains, if it is just bin files, the installer makes
a copy of the old ones before the patch is installed. You may just have to
shutdown your database and move a few bin files around (provided there haven't
been any dictionary changes). Don't they send backout instructions?

It's been my experience that except for patches for specific bugs, there
usually isn't a "deinstall" option for patchsets. Instead you need to
reinstall the base release from the media and then apply any intermediate
patches/patchsets to get back to the level you want.
