How to change the Previous shortcut (default alt+<-) to backspace key? I don't find this on system configuration.

It is not elementaryos policy to allow users to change existing native app shortcuts, generally. The only configurable shortcuts are in the System Settings keyboard plug.
This issue has been raised several times in the Files issue tracker (see https://github.com/elementary/files/issues?q=is%3Aissue+backspace+is%3Aclosed).
The reply of the project leader was "We don’t use backspace as a navigation key. Major browsers have dropped this convention. Closing as “Design Conflict”"

Note: If you use Column View, then
BackSpaceis used by the app to navigate up the directory tree.<Alt>LeftArrownavigates backwards in the browser history.<Alt>UpArrownavigates to the parent directory in all views. – Jeremy Wootten Jun 8 '19 at 17:35 -
Thank you for the note, Jeremy. I will use the Column View! – Professor P. Cosmo Klunk Jun 8 '19 at 19:02
