Backing with stabilizers
I have heard that you cannot back with stabilizers on. I expect no sharp turns but doesn't seem reasonable not to be able to back with them on. What's the truth?

To the OP....if you go to e-trailer.com , you can read lots of neat stuff on the topic. Pictures and videos as well .
You should remove a friction sway control device before backing up at sharp angles. That's why some hitches say "allows backing" or "doesn't allow backing up".
You can back up in a relatively straight line with slight turning but be careful to NOT turn too tight as you could damage the hitch set up while using a friction sway control slide bar. Therefore , its good practice to remove a friction sway control slide bar before backing.
Equalizer brand or HUSKY brand with built in sway control like the Equalizer 4 way hitch can be left in place while backing.
