    Your question is very difficult to answer - it resembles the question:
    "how can I use a hammer to put a nail in a piece of wood".
    The question suggests that you are so close to actually doing it, that
    you need no more help.
    Unless you don't know what "the number of backtracks" means - and then
    your question should have been different ...

    ???
