Okay, this is how backstab works; you go invisible, walk up behind an enemy, hit it, and it does up to five times as much damage (or seven times if you're an assassin). It's not possible to use the hide in shadows ability at all when there's enemies around. You can run away, hide again, then come back and hit things, but that's it. Another thing you should note is that you don't have to use the hide in shadows skill, you can also go invisible with any other method - like invisible potions or, if you're dualled to a mage, the invisible spell - and backstab will function in the same way.
