You can make a backup via iCloud or through iTunes on the computer, we show youhow to do it in this article.
Once ready for installation, two solutions are possible:OTA(wireless) oriTunes.
For those who installed the beta and want to force update back to the public version of iOS 13,see here how to proceed(it's the same as iOS 11 and 12).
For all users who haven't installed the beta, here's how to do it.
