Not to sound snippy but did you test it to see?
I usually add a when condition to a debug task to test it.
- debug: msg="running on {{ inventory_hostname }}"
when: inventory_hostname in groups["backend-servers"]
Then I run the playbook twice - once with the expected group, once with the
other group.
$ ansible-playbook my_test_playbook.yml -i backend-servers
running on balance1
running on balance2
running on balance3
$
$ ansible-playbook my_test_playbook.yml -i web-servers
$
This is not actual output .. just a mock up.

Good morning everyone, this is my hosts file:

hosts:
balance1:
ansible_host: x.x.x.x
balance2:
ansible_host: x.x.x.x
balance3:

what is the correct way to call backend group servers? I tried this but it
doesn’t work:
when: inventory_hostname in groups["backend-servers"]
