I don't think that actually works the way you think. I've tried it, and as fat as I can tell it only backs up things like your Wi-Fi password and your system preferences. and your photos if you've told it to upload to picasa. Unless something has changed in lollipop, don't expect to have your apps and data reappear magically.

The other problem is it gives you no indication of what it has backed up and what can be restored. You don't know if it is backing up, has finished, or plans on doing it some time.

Titanium backup is a much surer way of doing it.
