This may just be me, but I've never thought that the backup/restore on any iPad device actually restores anything but the programs, settings and passwords. Not the database of the programs itself. Not any information that you could load through the 'file share' option on that device.
Since most apps aren't actually owned by iTunes, the info isn't going to be transferred.
I don't think 'backup' is meant to keep a clone of the iThing. I have a handful of iThings, and have never come across the backup restoring everything. Just the apps and settings.
But if there's a way around that, I'd love to hear it. It's a real PITA to have to reload libraries and other data.
