Backup Homescreen shortcuts
You might be able to do it  (++) with Helium or My backup which are available on Google Play,  they both have a free version and a premium version , if you've updated to Android 5.0 like me your probably out of luck because the home screen has been locked down in "Lollipop" I did however get my wallpaper back by using Samsung Smart Switch but not short cuts though 
 (++ I don't know for sure  if it can be done in 4.4.2 "Kitkatt" because I never got a chance to try it )

Good luck , Sonny .
