If you want help you will have to provide details about what you've done.
Is mythbackend running, how was it started, where was it installed from?
The Archlinux package installs the necessary files, but you will have to
follow the wiki to get the database setup, run mythtv-setup and configure
your tuners, etc and enable and start the daemon. If the log directory is
empty it's because mythbackend has never run. See for yourself:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/mythbackend.service?h=packages/mythtv

Once you have done the above, you can use systemctl
status/stop/start/restart mythbackend.
