That is the same pump I am using and it is plumbed the same way as you have it.

Kerry,
Does your vacuum pump look like this one:

or

If so, it's supposed to go in series in the hose from the intake manifold
to the vacuum booster. So it will indeed blow back into the manifold, as
long as there's air to be exhausted from the booster -- just as the engine
should be doing when running.
Fact is, with your new booster, if still using the illustrated pump, you
shouldn't use the second booster port.
