If I Haven't Added Music, Should I Still Back up?

While it is common knowledge that you should back up your hard drive often, but what if you haven't added any music?

I have a separate Ex HD for just my music and always back it up soon after I have added some new music.

Q: Is there any reason to back up on a weekly or monthly basis if I have not added any new music or other data?

Thanks, jtb

A good backup program will run periodicaly and only back up new or changed files automatically.

The Seagate USB drives I use came with a good backup program already installed that does this and works well. I'm sure there are others.
