If you are convicted of a crime your time on the streets does not count because you were not in jail. Your term "back up time" is not a familiar one. If you mean your jail time before your conviction, you did not receive credit for that because you did not ask for that. Your jailer or Department of Corrections can not give you credit for that, only your sentencing judge. If he left it off your sentencing papers, there is a way to get it put on them. It is called post conviction relief. You will need to look into it. You will need to get a copy of your sentencing papers and see just what they say. If you did not get credit for jail time, you will need to request it.

It depends entirely on what you were charged with - NOT - what sentence the judge imposed. If the statute written by the legislature calls for a sentence of MORE THAN one year it is, by definition, a felony. The judge, at his discretion, can sentence persons convicted of felony-class crimes to serve less than the minimum sentence, however, the offender remains a convicted felon nonetheless.
