How wide is the arc which the Spy can perform a backstab?

Question

Can anyone provide facts or stats on how wide at the back of an enemy player which a Spy can perform a successful backstab?

Personally, I manage to inflict one at the side (90 deg, side-stab?).

Answer

180°

Also keep in mind that you don't need to actually face the same direction as the victim, as long as you hit the back area.
