I'm considering using backer board extensively, for it's impact resistance. I'm concerned with how it might affect the drying ability of wall assemblies. Does anyone know how permeable it is to water vapor?

Found some info, but doesn't give much for backerboard.

After checking out Hardie's site, it seems like it is in fact permeable.
