yum rollback !! is it possible

Hello all,

Is it possible to rollback packages with yum? We use yum to update a couple of Centos5 servers in production. I was wondering if after the yum updates, kernel update, something didn't work. Is there a way to go back to previous packages "rollback"?

What would you do if after an update something didn't work? How would you get the system back to the previous state?

Thanks for your time
