You cannot backup and restore individual tables. SQL 6.5 had such a  
feature, but thankfully this folly was dropped. 
 
You can however backup and restore single filegroups. 
 
But it is not likely to be the solution to your problem. BACKUP/RESTORE 
as such does not mess up users, but if you restore a backup on a different 
server, you lose the mapping between database users and server logins. 
Obviously - the logins in two servers are likely to be different. 
 
As Greg said, user sp_change_users_login to sort out the situation.
