Currently the backup application mentions it would backup only accounts, browser, gallery, playlists, messages, people, and phone. How about other application data, Documents, Downloads, Templates etc, how can those be backed up?

As long as Alien-Dalvik is not running you may just tar it to your sdcard (as root).
# tar cf $path-to-sdcard/home.tar -C $HOME .
please be aware that recovering it may screw up tracker and other things that need to be recovered after you overwrite your home
you may also rsync the directory to a pc directly, preserve owner and permissions there!
It is not a good idea to restore on another release than on the one you backed up from - especially older releases, upgrade to the one you backed up from first!

My Music folder had only .flac audio files in it, after a factory reset and backup restore it was empty. I find this odd as the Videos folder had many different file formats (.mkv, .webm etc) that were successfully backed up.
Is it a bug? I've been testing several times and the only thing the Media backup does is backing up your playlists - not your music, whether .flac or .mp3!
