The same way you back up any other single vehicle, except you don't have the benefit of rearview mirrors. If you're unsure of what's behind you, just just get out and look - anyone in the professional transportation industry knows this (although bus drivers often fall well short of the expectations of a professional driver).

One of the big things to be mindful of is that your turn radius is going to be based on the location of your wheels, not the rear end of the vehicle. Some people have problems when they use the rear end of the vehicle to gage their turns, and often end up hopping curbs or running into things.
