Hi Francisco,
You can get backspin in a lot of ways. The main thing is to get the bat to come down on the ball or slide under the ball to get the ball rotating backwards.
Waldner does it in a whole lot of different ways. Watch some videos of him doing the serves you like and then try to copy his action.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
