Unfortunately, 'backed up' is far too vague to give a straight answer, but the likely answer is "no" and you should, generally, be very wary about attempting to copy a previous OS installation over the top of a later installation.

If you actuall mean 'I made an image of my disk, then wiped it and now I am putting the image back on' then everything will be exactly as it was when you made the image, it's more likely that you simply selected certain files and directories and compressed them on another drive (or media), however. In this case the OS files were probably deliberately excluded (or even impossible to include, for access reasons).
