Android backs up apps and settings. The Google provided apps (e.g. contacts and photos) back up their data. Other data (ebooks, music, podcasts) would need to be backed up separately.
I used to do my own backup of my phone. I stopped largely because it became more of a hassle once I got a Nexus which used mtp and had no SD-card slot, and also because most of the data on the phone is either transient or backed up elsewhere anyway. The one exception is podcasts. I tend to have a backlog on my phone and so may have episodes that are no longer in the current feed. I've solved this by having a separate podcast app download them on my PC.
