A person you are friends with, but is treated poorly, and is talked to when your friends are absent. The person who sees you as a backup friend does not care about you, and you get screwed over.
Since Julie ignored Corrine's text about a sleepover, Corrine got the sign that she was the backup friend, because Julie asks her to do things very seldom.

This is a guy that a girl keeps "on the bench" or at an arm's length just in case she breaks up with her boyfriend. He usually is crazy about her, very good looking and very eager "to get into the game". Just like a backup quarterback in football.
Maggie asked Scarlett, "You just broke up with Ted a week ago, who was that hunky guy you were cozy with last night?"
Scarlett replied, "Oh, that's Chuck. I've known him for a while and called him into the game." Maggie exclaimed, "That was quick!" To which Scarlett replied, "Well, honey, you don't win championships or the Super Bowl without a backup quarterback."

A backup beer is a beverage that comes in handy after a night of doing shotguns, shots, beer funnel, or anything other alcoholic activity. It is usually just a casual beer after you full send.

My girlfriend was a "backup girl" before she met me.
"Are you dating her?"
"Nah man, she's just my backup girl."
"Are you dating her?"
"Nah man, she's just my backup girl."
