destroys my backspace functionality.
What can I do? After pressing backspace I get ^?

This will make the terminal interpret the key as Backspace:
stty erase "^?"
(^?
can be either the Backspace key, or the literal ^
?

Probably you need to fix you TERM
variable to more accurately reflect the terminal emulator you are actually using. See man reset
.
What's happening here is reset
is putting things into a very vanilla state to insure that you can do some interaction with the terminal. If your login scripts set up any key interpretation rules not covered by your TERM
variable (like the one suggested by grawity), you will have to reapply these by hand.

The everything-you-wanted-to-know-and-more answer:
1what terminal application are you using? gnome-terminal? can you try it on xterm or konsole or other terminal app and tell us if you get the same results? – nmuntz – 2009-07-26T13:33:49.270
Also post the value of $TERM – Paused until further notice. – 2009-07-26T13:58:54.683
