You can do either one. But I go along with strollin. Use a back up just for back up and a media server just for a media server. In my personal opinion never mix the two on the same disk.
On my laptop and where I'm working now I don't have a lot of choices. I tend to back up what's important to a thumb drive and also to one of my staff's laptop. Work stuff so it's ok for her to have it.
On my desk top I have a WD external 3TB that gets the system backups.
However the movies go on the cloud server.
