3.38) Do I need to back out previous versions of a patch?

No, unless otherwise stated in the patch README. If the previous patch installation saved the old files, you may want to reclaim that space.

Patches can be backed out with:

	    /var/sadm/patch/<patch-id>/backoutpatch <patch-id>

Backoutpatch can take an awful long time, especially when the patch contained a lot of files. This is fixed in later versions of backoutpatch.
