If by backdriving you mean cranking it without the motor being on and moving it instead, then.. don't try. The last time I checked the worm gear was plastic, but that could be an older model. I have see the worm gear inside get striped teeth.
So to be on the safe side, I wouldn't try.
Wait now I remember we made an arm with these motors, and we had to hand crank it back, but it ended up tearing up the insides. Maybe it could have been because we weren't nice to it.
