It means they'll stand up for you, or help you out in any situation. In the military, they say "I got your six". If you think about a watch, the 12 would be in front of you, the six behind you, so when a military person says "I got your six." It means "I've got your back, I'm hear to cover you."
As I understand it, Judy, it means, if someone is attacking a friend of yours or is saying gossipy things OR if your friend needs help of any kind...you might say..."I've got your back"--meaning, I'm behind you you can count on me, I will stick up for you, I am loyal to you and will be there for you in any way I can.

It means they will protect you. It means they are right behind you and will defend you. They've got you covered!

I am really tired today. I know the difference between hear and here. I meant "here" of course! I'm going to bed early tonight! :-)
To me it means someone stands with you. Kind of the same as I may not agree with what you say, but I defend your right to say it.
I see it as sticking up for you in case somebody bad mouths you etc... "sticks a knife in your back" I won't let them.
Right, what Robin said.

You can go ahead doing the business and they will guard you from any oncomers.
