Probably not, but all updates, not just beta ones, have a chance of doing that. Back it up.

Keeping a backup of your data is always advisable - your backup always providing a safety-net should something ever go wrong. Accidents and technical failures can occur at any time.
Before performing a system software update, ensuring that you have updated your backup is always advisable. While the system software update will likely complete without incident, having a backup provides the means to restore your data should the update fail.
If you value your data, always keep a backup.
