Storage shared flag: is it needed for backups?

It's not clear from the documentation, but looks like the shared flag only makes sense if the storage is for vm disks, so PVE would know not to copy the data if a vm is running on a shared storage. The question is whether it is needed to tick "shared" if it's a shared storage for backups? Does it do anything in this case?
