I doubt if you hurt anything. A backfire may be noisy, but it probably puts
much less stress on the engine than normal running. What it CAN damage is
the exhaust system, which isn't built to withstand the combustion happening
there rather than between the head and the piston. OTOH, if it managed to
pop something loose in the exhaust system, you'd know that right away, from
the noise you would now be getting.
