Usually when I'm backing up, I pull the clutch to the friction point, accelerate, and then put the clutch back in. I might touch the friction point a few times, but for a short duration, with almost no throttle.
Clutches usually don't like to be held at their friction point for long; that slip is what generates heat, and that smell is you cooking the clutch. Light load slips aren't terrible, but not good for the clutch either.
