Upgrade vCenter 5.0 to 5.1

We want to upgrade vCenter 5.0 to 5.1.

vCenter is installed on a virtual machine and is using an Oracle database.

All our ESXi hosts are 5.0 and are using Distributet Switches.

We are using Active Directory to delegate access to vm´s.

Is it possible just to run the Simple Installer installation methode on the vCenter and follow the instructions, and then your done?

Before I make the update, I first make a backup of the vCenter by using Veeam Backup. If the upgrade goes badly wrong, is it then possible to restore the vCenter from backup?

Because I ask, is because I do not know how all our ESXi servers will react when the vCenter upgrade first goes wrong, and then the ESXi servers a little later will be connected to a vCenter from backup.

Greetings Brian
