'Date back to' and 'date from' have the same meaning that they show the start point. Eg The buildings date from/ back to 4000 BC.
'Date back to' - maybe puts emphasis on a longer time. eg His work with cinema dates back to the 1930's.
Date up to is the opposite and shows the end of a period- eg Arab presence in the north of Spain dates up to the 10th century.
