Thank you for your help.
If you look at the results in Jisho.org, you can mouseover "external links." Then click "Eijirou (ALC)." You will get a long list of sample sentences, and you can get a better picture of the usage of 後ろ than anyone can possibly tell you in a few words here.

Here is an excerpt:

後ろ
backward
rear
