Hi Andrew,
Which way you move depends on how you and partner move best.
Some pairs prefer to move back and forward and others prefer to move sideways. The most important thing is that you do move to allow your partner enough space to play their shot.
Don't however too far away so that it makes it difficult to get back yourself for your next shot. You will see that the best doubles combinations move together a lot of the time. If you are getting caught playing forehands on the backhand side you should move backwards rather than sideways out wide to your forehand. This way you may be able to come in and play more forehands.
