Script Preparation code:

const src = Array(10000);
for (let i = 0, end = src.length; i < end; i += 1) {
  src[i] = i;
}

function setArrayForward(dst, src) {
  dst.length = src.length;
  for (let i = 0, end = dst.length; i < end; i += 1) {
    dst[i] = src[i];
  }
}

function setArrayBackward(dst, src) {
  dst.length = src.length;
  for (let i = dst.length; i > 0; i -= 1) {
    dst[i - 1] = src[i - 1];
  }
}

Tests:

forward when empty
const dst = []; setArrayForward(dst, src);
forward when same
const dst = src.slice(); setArrayForward(dst, src);
backward when empty
const dst = []; setArrayBackward(dst, src);
backward when same
const dst = src.slice(); setArrayBackward(dst, src);
