How to reassign backspace key?

I have an old computer on which the backspace key is broken (i.e. it makes no physical connection) and I would like to reassign it to another key. How would I do that?

See:

So put something like:

Code:

keycode 90=BackSpace

in ~/.Xmodmap

Use xev to find the keycode of the key you want to map.
