Dooku, who had abandoned the Jedi Order around thirty-two years before the Battle of Yavin, returned from his self-imposed exile twenty-four years before the Battle of Yavin to begin organizing groups that opposed the Galactic Republic, which he viewed as corrupt and ineffective.
Twenty-two years before the Battle of Yavin, Dooku held a meeting between leaders of these groups on Geonosis, where they officially founded the Confederacy of Independent Systems and began mobilizing a massive droid army.
Though the first battle of the Clone Wars was a defeat for the Confederacy, it was a victory for Count Dooku, who started the war with ulterior motives.

The ammunition supplies at Yavin IV were so low, only Squadron Leaders and a few of the best pilots carried more than a single pair of proton torpedoes on their fighters.

 Star Wars vs Star Trek Essays: The Battle of Yavin
Given Motti's intelligence data as well as the size and maturity of the base on Yavin IV (compared to the makeshift base on Hoth), it seems reasonable to conclude that Yavin IV probably had defenses well in excess of those on Hoth.
It seems reasonable to me to imagine that the Yavin IV base must have been much more strongly defended than the relatively makeshift Echo Base seen in TESB, but there is no way to verify this one way or another.
In the original battle, the Death Star was at Alderaan and had to follow the Falcon to Yavin in order to attack the Rebel base.
