It could just be a dragging disc pad. After that you’re into checking every rotating or moving part (shafts, bearings, bushes etc).

Sounds rubbery like a bush but why only in reverse?

Had a similar squeek once and it was the top mount on the rear shock. When the rubber cover was removed the bush was clearly split 50% of the way round. Worth looking at.
