Hi, in my experience I don't think this is possible without a backup of your server or database.  Before each upgrade, I take a snapshot and backup.  In the past, i've had to resort to using this method.

 

Maybe someone else has an alternative answer, but I'm not aware of downgrading being an option.

If you back up the database you'll also have to back up the Encryption Keys via Report Server Configuration Manager otherwise you won't be able to restore the database.
