When performing a major upgrade to a network, it is always important to have a contingency plan in place in case of a failure. The best option for this is to have a rollback plan.

A rollback plan is a pre-planned strategy that can be implemented in case an upgrade or change goes wrong. It outlines a series of steps that can be taken to revert the network back to its previous state, essentially "rolling back" the upgrade. The rollback plan should be developed and tested before the upgrade is performed, so that if something does go wrong, the administrator can quickly and easily implement the plan to get the network back up and running.

A baseline report, on the other hand, is a report that provides a snapshot of the network's current performance and configuration. This can be useful for troubleshooting and identifying changes made during an upgrade, but it does not provide a contingency plan in case of failure.

A vulnerability report is a report that identifies potential security vulnerabilities in the network. While it is important to address these vulnerabilities, it is not directly related to contingency planning for a major upgrade.

A business continuity plan is a comprehensive plan for how a business will continue to operate in the event of a major disruption or disaster. While it is important to have a business continuity plan in place, it is not specific to a network upgrade and may not provide the immediate response needed in case of a failure during an upgrade.
