Generally if you back into something it would be the backer's fault, unless both are backing and that will usually be that each would be responsible for their own vehicle damage. You shouldn't intentionally put it into reverse and back into someone that is following to closely. If you are stopped or moving slowly or have to stop sudddenly and they hit you in the rear the tailgater is at fault for following to close.

Am I at fault if I'm hit from behind causing my vehicle to hit another vehicle?

no The person behind you should not be tailgating (even though many people still do this today). It also depends on how close you are to the front of the car. In this circumstance, you are not at fault. The tailgater is at fault. For a reminder, always keep a distance at low or high speeds. Tailgating is one of the top causes of car accidents. Stay safe out there.
