iPhone Restore from back 13.1 beta

**Resolved**

I backed up my Max XS to my MBP with encryption turned on. I installed 13.1beta profile and updated the software. Plugging in to MBP and trying to Restore from Backup, I can choose the latest backup which had 13.1b. When I click install, it waits a second and then goes back to the Restore screen and doesn't do anything. Any suggestions?

Edit - Resolved.

I had to turn off Find My iPhone first. Finder using Catalina didn't say to turn it off. I guess it was just assumed, but I wasn't that smart. Anyway, restore in progress.

So you simply installed the 17A5844a beta profile, let it do the upgrade and then restored?

Yes. I put in the old SIM, turned it on, set up as new, and went through all the basic stuff. Downloaded the 13.1b4 profile and installed that. Then went to Finder, clicked Set up as new, and went to main screen. From there, I am restoring from the latest backup I had which was 9a this morning. Voila! it's restoring.
