Could blow up the battery, probably burn out one of the main fuses or fuseable links, could mess up the computer or any part of the electrical system of either or both cars.
If by 'jumpstarting the car backwards,' you mean pushstarting the car (with manual transmission) in reverse, then no harm should be done. However, it is often more difficult to start a vehicle by pushstarting in reverse, so whenever possible try to start it in 2nd or 3rd gear forwards.
