I really dont want to deteriorate my back and body by doing things like squats.
Squats don't deteriorate the back and body. Ignorant people who do them with shitty form, that's what deteriorates the back and body.

Barring a pre-existing condition, your best bet for a strong back is squats and dead lifts. I suggest you look at the stronglifts 5x5 link on my signature for more information.

I want a routine which takes about 1-2 hours a day including cardio, that is safe.
Unless you are a pro-athlete, anything over an hour is usually a waste, and therefore runs the risk of being unsafe (or at the very least, counter productive.)

Furthermore, any form of physical activity must engage a level of exertion and risk for it to produce results, so safety is not inherent. You achieve safety by doing the exercises correctly and according to your level of fitness. That is not necessarily evident in any given selection of exercises.



Other than that, you have made no mention of the number of reps per set, nor the number of sets per exercise. You also haven't stated your stats - gender, age, height and weight - these are important to gauge where you are at, and what you need to do to get to where you want to be in terms of fitness.

Without your stats and the intended # of reps and sets, it is almost impossible to ascertain the validity the exercise list you presented.
