I've noticed over the years that Apple's system updates have a way of making "bubbling under" hard drive problems worse, sometimes causing serious hard drive failure. Let me clarify this: the hard drive was going to fail soon anyway, but the system update caused it to choke a little sooner.
With a full backup, you are less at risk.
