Bad idea to set up Boot Camp for Mac OS X without backing up hard drive?

Is it true? I've had a mac os x for half a year now i didnt realize that windows actually came with it for free? thats what boot camp is right? so I decided that i want to set up boot camp but it asked me to back up my files first. i dont have an external source big enough to hold all my data. so i'm wondering if its really a big deal? is there really a good chance that i will lose all my data?? thanks
 
First, no, Boot Camp is not Windows. Boot Camp is a tool used to install Windows. You need a licensed copy of Windows to use it.

Second, it's a bad idea not to have a backup of any data you care about, period. There's a good chance you'll lose all your data because hard drives have about a 2% chance of crashing each month.
