You can fall back to a previous version of OS X by simply doing an 
archive and install of the earlier version, assuming that you are falling 
back to an earlier version within the same major release.  (e.g. you can 
fall back to OS X 10.4.1 from 10.4.8 by doing an archive and install from 
an OS X 10.4.1 installer.)

However, to fall back to a previous major release, you will have to 
backup your drive, erase it, and reinstall the earlier major release of 
OS X, and then restore your data.
