Yes, Hatha Yoga is good for the back, and your whole body —
if you do a well rounded practice, and are careful not to push your self too hard, too fast.
There are a range of Hatha Yoga Styles of varying intensitys and approaches.
Ashtanga, Power, and Vinyasa yoga styles are generally very vigourous.
Iyengar and Anusara emphasize attention to alignment details.
Restorative yoga can be very sedate and calming.
For more overview on various styles see http://yoga.about.com/od/typesofyoga/a/yogatypes.htm .
