The best advice given for not getting water in your nose - an Italian woman once told her children "If you don't go near the water you won't drown."
Or purse your lips like this -
I use a nose clip. Some backstrokes can close off their nose(ie ande) or purse the lips(like George showed) I am not able to do either of those(or haven't figured out the tricks) so a nose clip works well for me.
