What purpose does brake backing plate serve?

I was redoing my rear brakes on my 90 SPG the other day when I noticed there was some real rust on the backing plate. The part that surrounds the rotor was completely rotten away. It seems to me, that with all the water coming off the rotors, spraying onto the lip of the backing plate, that this part is destined for destruction. Also seems strange that nothing really protects the other side of the rotor, or the caliper, and that the backing plate may be completely useless, except for maybe wedging in an occasional stone, to cause more damage.
