Are you sure, then how did you do the backup? What kind of backup is it?
So when i root my device after the back-up, and restore my back-up. I will loose root. Correct?

Again, you cannot do a backup without root, you must mean you have backed up some app data. That will not get rid of root either as it is not a full system backup, you need root in order to do that.

I used sony bridge to back-up my contacts, messages and pictures and such. I don't care that much about app data.

OK, That's not a "Backup" of your system, its just some files, it will not replace your system files, hence will not touch root.

It will just replace your contacts, messages, pictures and such

    did you have root when you made the backup?

    Yes you did

    So if you restore back to that point, guess what...You will have root.

    Your contacts are auto backed upto your google account anyway
    Then I would just copy and paste all my pictures onto my PC
    You can use smartSMS bacup to backup your messages to your google account as well.

    That's all I ever do.
