I almost did the same thing.
I unpacked the beta test copy and installed it but instead of updating a personal copy it updated the servers shared copy (my fault). I did a couple of quick tests and then I THINK I managed to back everything up before any of the running games were affected.

And I am in the same situation. I am freezing on all requests to start new games on Dom3Minions.com until after the patch is released. Updates can be a real pain to try and get the server and all of the players onto the same version for the same turn. So no new game requests please until everyone is patched equally.

Added Note: I CAN make games already running continue to use an old version but efforts to do that in the past have generally failed since one of the players is almost always going to update. Its easier for everyone to catch up than for one to backup to a previous version so in general I dont recommend the effort.
