No way, it's FALSE. They can't be on the same switch.

Hmm, I thought the Backup Port was just a backup in case the Designated Port fails.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think the answer was FALSE because Backup Ports are meant for different links.

I feel like this is a trick question. I thought Backup Ports were only for redundant links, but I can't remember if they share the same switch.

I think a Backup Port can only exist on a switch that has a Designated Port, but I'm not sure if they can be on the same switch.

Okay, I think I know how to approach this. The key is understanding the RSTP port roles and how they're assigned on a per-port basis.
