The modal is great, but the code isn't really.
You're using a modal and a backdrop global variable, which firstly is bad practice, but also means there cannot be stacked modals on top of each other. You should instead keep the elements inside the context of the function that creates them.
Furthermore, you'd usually not want any complex HTML creation in JavaScript. What you'd ideally want is an HTML template that is shown when the button is clicked. Additionally you can customize the content of the modal using this method, without having to create the modal from scratch in JavaScript.
