What do you mean by redirect backlink? Do you mean internal redirect link like 301 redirect or domain redirect traffic?

What kinda backlink is this?

So that's not likely going to help you. A redirect backlink, to my understanding, is a backlink someone has generously posted to go to your website, but is to an outdated part of your website. In an attempt to salvage the effectiveness of that backlink on your google ranking (or SEO), you make sure that backlink redirects to the content that it's looking for, which you might have moved, or at the very least, goes to something that is otherwise relevant or important on your website.
Not sure how this would be considered black hat SEO, maybe I'm not understanding your question. Speaking of, I can't think of anything really that would be considered black hat SEO, although I'm not too experienced in it. It's my understanding that those types of activities (e.g. mass posting a link to your site on thousands of sites) may have helped you in the ancient history of the internet, but nowadays, these types of things only hurt your ranking, especially with Google.
Just a note, it's important to make sure all backlinks work, as even backlinks to valid URLs/contents may be broken for various reasons besides content being moved or removed.

Redirect Backlink is the expire and updated technique in Off-page SEO. Why work with this technique which is outdated. Perform the new and updated techniques of getting a backlink. Don't try to perform this technique it may harm your website.
