Yes, they both will run the mythbackend process.  A backend is a machine 
that operates a tuner.  They can certainly share drive space mounted 
from one or the other machine, or even on a totally different machine.  
If you're doing HD recording though, I'd probably think that the drive 
should be shared from that machine due to the higher bandwidth needs of HD.
