That's the million dollar question, isn't it?
...which is why backups should be considered completely useless until you've tested restoration successfully.
There's no obvious reason that non-MS software and data would be skipped, but this all is dependent on how you have things configured. Which goes back to the need to test restores.

That's a completely different question. You can create a new question to ask it, but please do your own research before asking, otherwise it will likely get down voted and closed.– EEAAJul 29, 2014 at 12:37

Try a backup. Then test it. You will learn a lot about the process while doing this.– EEAAJul 29, 2014 at 12:54
