Hi Pär,

Yes, it is okay to download and apply the packages you mentioned manually. However, I recommend that you first take a backup of your existing PostgreSQL data before proceeding.
 
1. OP should be backing up anyway.
2. PgBackRest (and probably others, like barman, wal-e, etc) does "continual backups".

Thus, no need to take a pre-update backup.
