Not all apps will be backed up in the Google Cloud.

First of all you have to enable backup at all - in "vanilla" Android
(e.g. on a Pixel device) you find this here:

Settings - System - Backup

There you can enable "Backup by Google One" which will backup *most*
apps and their data, but *not* everything! You can also select what
should be backed up.

Why do not all apps get backed up?

Some apps - for example banking apps - store login credentials in the
secure storage of the device which can not be backed up and restored to
another device for security reasons. Also some apps do not allow to
backup their data since it may be protected using DRM or is paid content
which must not be transferred to any other device but only be downloaded
using the official sources.

So eventhough many apps and settings can be restored on another Android
device using Google backp, you still may have to set up individual apps
manually.
