I'm guessing that English is not your first language. "I am backed" in English implies one of the following:

  1. that you have a back
  2. that something is backing you, in the sense of "backing you up" or supporting you

and in either case it's just kind of an odd phrase.

"I am back," on the other hand, means "I (have come) back (from being someplace else)," which is a much more normal thing to want to say.

"I am backed into a corner" is somewhat different. It means that, against your volition, someone or something has pushed you back into a position where you cannot really move... this can be used metaphorically to mean "I have no options."
