Back out of minibuffer

Thank you, I did discover C-g -- I also bound [escape] to the same thing 
(as follows) because of my existing habits:

> (define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map [escape] 'abort-recursive-edit)

However I notice that I reflexively use backspace to exit the minibuffer 
-- rather than unlearn, I'd like to teach Emacs to obey ... Is there a 
convenient way?

Thanks!
