Lets say for example I have a sword that does 200 physical damage only then I backstab a certain enemy and deal X amount of damage. Now I take a sword number 2 that does 200 physical damage and 200 magic damage and backstab the same enemy. Will sword number 2 do X amount of damage + 200? Or is the elemental damage scaled in the backstab?

Is Backstab damage multipled by elemental damage?

The total damage of the weapon is multiplied by the critical multiplier.
SO lets say you have a weapon with a crit rate of 100, and it deals 200 physical and 200 magic damage. You ad 100% of each to the damage of the weapon and that is whats dealt (before taking into account resistnaces). So you are now dealing 400physical and 400 magic.
If you have a weapon that deals 100 physical and 100 lightning then during a backstab it deals 200 physical and 200 lightning.
Makes sense?

Yea I got it. Weapon buffs/enchantments just act as added damage with critical hits don't they? They aren't scaled in the critical hit multiplier.

I believe they scale along with the multiplier. It'd be an easy test to do.
Get a normal weapon, attack, then backstab. The backstab should do ~2x the damage.
Then buff it, attack then backstab. It should still do ~2x the damage. If not then the buff damage is just added. If so then the buff damage scales with criticals.
