Byte backwards is a popular term in computing referring to a piece of data with a different endianness than other pieces of data it is being compared to. For example, if one piece of software used to display packets from a serially connected device displayed the string "1A2B3C4D" while another piece of software displaying data from the same device displayed the string "4D3C2B1A" either of the two strings could be considered to be byte backwards compared to the other.
