Separate backend from actual program?

I am working in a general project involving a piece of software that needs a backend + frontend to show data and interact with it.



Let's say the program gets some data from a few sensors and right now it just saves them into files. In the last weeks we created a database, a backend that gets all the data and saves it into the database, a frontend that references the backend to get the data it needs to show it to a end user.



Our approach was to divide the backend + program from the frontend but now we have this dilemma: is it right to have the backend in the same level, in the same file even, of the program itself? Would it be more correct to divide them too like the front and backend?



Thanks a lot in advance for the suggestions!
