What does "back taxi" mean?

I just got a Level 2 violation for failing to follow that instruction as I had no idea what it meant

Its when a taxi way doesn’t go the whole length of the runway, so you must taxi down to the end and turn around to takeoff

Basically to taxi opposite to the runway/departure flow to exit/takeoff from a runway

Hello! I was the one to give you that command.

Back-taxi means to taxi down the runway. I gave it to you cause you exited so early and wanted you to taxi down 28L.

When you get back taxi 19R, it means to taxi the opposite direction of that runway. So, you should have turned right, not left like you did.

Hope that clarifies anything.
