That's news to me! While there are ways to restore Android backups, they won't work unless you've created a backup in the first place.
If things are missing from your home screen though, are you sure that you've not simply swiped them out of sight? The reason I ask is that the first time I noticed that most things had disappeared from my Android home screen (on a phone, rather than a laptop, in my case) it took a while to dawn on me that I'd simply swiped to one side and was therefore looking at a largely blank area instead of the heavily-populated one that I would normally see.
So, before attempting anything that's either complex or drastic, try swiping from side to side, and/or up and down, to see if you can get things back to the way that they were.

Try the 'Reset app preferences' option.

There are two sets of instructions there, depending upon which version of Android your device is using. However on my Android 11 phone it's the instructions give for Android 4 to Android 7 which actually apply, rather than the ones shown for Android 8 or higher. So just go with whichever set of instructions seems to match what's on your tablet.
