thinking of putting in a backup offer?

Is it worth even thinking of putting in a backup offer on a property that went under contract? I saw a house that I really liked at an open house, but it went under contract very quickly-- the same day that I went to see it again with my agent. (My agent is kind of annoyed that the other agent didn't let her know that there was another offer already in the works at that point.)

My agent hasn't talked to me about possibly putting in a backup offer, but I'm not really loving the other listings that I'm seeing. I don't have to move for several months, so I can always wait for other listings to come on the market... but I think the less-appealing listings that are available right now are making it hard to stop thinking about the one I liked so much. But is a backup offer even worth the effort?
