As a native speaker of American English, I would only ever say "back home" and never insert a preposition between the two. I would say, "I'm going back home" when someone asks, for example, how I will spend my vacation. In this case, "home" refers to where I was raised. If I just say "I'm going home", this could just mean the place I live now OR the place I was raised.
You can use "at" with "home" as in, "I am spending the night at home" or "Cooking at home is less expensive than eating out."
If you want to use "back to" in the above context, you might tack "my house" on the end of it.
You can also use at in this context:
I cannot speak for how the above usage may differ in British English.
