You use it only to talk about a situation during which something else happened or was happening, eg:
Have you ever been watching TV when there was an earthquake?
You could as well rephrase the sentence like this:
Has there ever been an earthquake when you were watching TV?
I might have misled you. I meant, what would be the difference between "Have you ever been backpacking?" and "Have you ever backpacked?"?
