By far the best way is to use Akeeba (free will do) this backups the site and data base at the same time in conjunction with akeebas kickstart.php it is a doddle to restore / move sites.
I assume you no longer have the original site? If not does your host do daily backups? If yes ask them to restore the working site and then make an akeeba back up. Now you can update in safety as you will always be able to restore and start again if there are problems.
I suspect the DataBase is the problem but I cant be sure as I don't use yootheme.
EDIT I see you have tracked down the initial problem,well done. Akeeba is still a must for joomla sites.
