Backlash is the distance in mm you need to move motor in opposite direction until the extruder moves again. That is why it is in mm. So simple example:
You move right then make a line down go right 10 mm and down and left 10mm and a new line down again. The difference between the two left lines down (which should be zero) is your backlash in x direction.
