I rack my backpack, but I do it a certain way. I run a bungie from the seatpost to the back of the bikerack, and slip the backpack in there. It's quick and fast. I use a backpack with grommets on the side and put D-Clips in there to make certain the back pack stays in place. When it rains I put a kitchen trash bag over the back pack and don't use the clips, which is what I did for 15 years before adding them. Even without the clips, I never had a backpack fall off, even when the bike tipped or fell.
My setup is, i zip-tied an old document tray (those wired ones) to secure the bag because i found that the bag tend to move around when i go through bumps.

I'm lovin my Topeak MTX. Easy to take on and off..no hardware. I can use just the rack or attach the carrier and it has panniers that fold out when un zipped. Very cool for my use.
