back it up

I inserted an object into a hole and if someone says "back it up" does it mean " put it back out"?
  

Top answer

If the object is a plant and the hole is in the ground, as in a garden, ‘back it up’ usually means add sufficient earth to the new plant to support it during its adjustment to growing.

No. It means you inserted it too far and you should pull it back a little so it's not in so far.

(Guessing.)
