Backsides are actually the exact same wrap but the point of view is different. The biggest difference is that the diabolo is on the other side of the string. That's why backside is usually called a darkside. Here we will use terms backside and frontside.

Again the first part of the name comes from the hand you make the mount with. If the wrap is done with your left hand it's always left backside or frontside. Same for the other hand.

Backside or frontside? Well again it depends on the hand you used to make the mount. If the string goes from the front, it's frontside. If the string comes from the back it's called backside. Usually in the tricks it's easier to do backsides since the frontside is a little awkward.
