I don't think so. Backbone is more about the Models, Collections, and persistence. Backbone doesn't do much with views or even touch templating, it just gives you a basic way to hook up the views to the data. From what it looks like Knockout is all about the views and templating. Seems like the killer feature is auto-updating views and its templating system. Backbone does do some things with callbacks and handling changes to your models, but you would update the views yourself.
