Since you asked, I would have secured any family members in a safe room, turned on the outside lights, and the lights to the room immediate to the door the guy was banging on.
Then retreated to the next room that was available for cover and waited to see what happened.
If he stayed outside, and if after a short time he hadn't left, then call the police.
If he came through the door, well........
And there's always the chance that the banging on the back door is a diversion and someone will be coming in somewhere else.
