I'm not aware of what the problem is. “Back-tracking” doesn't have a
general meaning I recognise beyond random access into a data structure.
So a Python list is the obvious starting point.

Do you have a specific meaning of “back-tracking” that implies
particular problems that are difficult to solve?
