Victor,
To possibly disregard the 1.0 MM rule of thumb, ask your PCB Fab
manufacturers for crossection photos of their backdrilled holes,
particularly smaller holes. Also ask about their back-drill bit
geometry, and how quickly or well it removes material as it is cut.
There is no industry standard covering backdrilling in any great detail,
so board design engineers should work closely with their PCB suppliers
to determine the appropriate back-drill depth controls and limits. Note
that as back-drilling is becoming more common, many suppliers are still
on a learning curve concerning their backdrilling capability.
Regards,
Karl Sauter

The back-drill bit geometry, drilling parameters and hole size affect how much copper is pushed into the hole ahead of the tip and how much the PTH hole wall is stressed near the tip of the drill bit. A conservative rule of thumb is that the stressed area not be closer than 0.1 MM to the connecting or "Must Not Penetrate" layer.
