Daggers aren't great for backstab until you get the perk for them, before that they have the same multiplier as other melee weapons and you want to use the most front loaded melee weapon you can.
Until you get the enough stealth skill and perks or unless you set yourself up using illusion assistant melee backstabs are very difficult. Without illusions melee backstabs pick up around 60 at this point you'll also have the perk for super dagger backstab damage.
