If you have a laser level (or know someone that will lend you one) put that down on the floor (in various places) and walk over the floor. The laser line should have very little movement when you walk. If that's the case then you can glue and screw your Backer board.

Does no one use Aquapanel any more? It used to be the board of choice when I tiled.
