The database that is backed up contain pages, product, order, coupons etc. it does not contain any of the text that the merchant configures in the backoffice. It also does not contain buttons settings which are modified when a new theme is selected. It is possible to make a backup of those settings using the Utilities > Export Store functionality but it isn't easy to restore the settings from that method unless you have server level access to your account. I logged an enhancement request to make it easier to backup and restore non-database settings. It will be looked at for a future release but I don't know if or when it might be implemented.
