You may not be deadlifting properly and you may need to do more core training. If there is a problem...fix it..don't prop it up.

And when you say strain, do you mean you hurt your back or that your back muscles were stressed. Stressing the muscle is ok (withing the realm of common sense), straining it is not.

The back is going to be stressed to some degree during a deadlift due to it's stabilizing role. You need a lot of strength edurance in the entire core. I'm beginning to see, basically, that some incorrect ideas about what deadlifts are lead people to use belts.

Their may be other problems that lead to the back taking over the lift. Maybe you need some glute activation...all sorts of things could be at work. The main thing right now is to nail down correct technique and proper position for YOUR body.

I'm assuming that you don't have a previous back injury in all of this.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
