O-rings require back-ups for both static and dynamic sealing applications. If pressure is applied on one side, one back-up is needed on the opposite side. If pressure is applied on both sides, two back-ups are required, one for each side.

Ultra-High Pressure Back-up Rings
Positively activated back-up rings are designed to prevent extrusion and accommodate cylinder tube expansion under ultra-high pressures. They bridge the radial gap between the piston and bore as pressure increases, sliding along their angle to close metal gland clearance gaps.
