If I install the iOS 8 beta on my 5s right now and decide in a few days I do not like it, is restoring back to 7.1.1 possible? Or is it just like with final software in that there is no going back?
You can downgrade via DFU restores. Your backups, however, will be stuck at iOS 8.
Is there a way to keep a 7.1 backup and an 8 backup?

Thats pretty much all I need to hear. I plan on doing an itunes backup as well to be safe but I will probably turn off icloud backup after the phone is done restoring so I don't lose the backup completely assuming I decide to go back.iCloud Backups will be stuck with iOS 8, while you can always DFU restore back to iOS 7.
