Hey guys. I’m suffering from battery drain still. And wanted to make a clean install with restore from backup.

Currently running iOS 12 public beta 7 and wanted to know how to save it correctly?

I want to clean install it via DFU the iOS beta 12 and then either via iCloud or iTunes backup. Is that possible and if yes how?

Usually when using DFU it will install 11.4.1. but I want the newest beta and then completely use the backup then that I have made (iOS 12 beta 7)
 
Rumor is Windows iTunes wont work with the IPSW file for iOS 12.(maybe 12.7.5 does but not the latest) Supposedly Mac still does. There is no publicly available ipsw file so you would need to find the dev version copy. However your issue may be simply resolved by a 'reset all settings'. I would try that first.
