well.. I store everything as a backup. I have 170MB  on pictures I made in my documents, and all sounds and music I store ofcourse too. It's really a good idea to backup them. I have made some backups cd's with only my own graphics and sounds... and some other things.

But is it necessary to do so?
I mean, if I will have my game done.

Not necessarily.  You don't need them, but most people will keep them just for keepsake, and to remember the hard work they put into the game.  Plus, you could release all the graphics you used freely to the agsdomain and be loved by all.

Moreover, in case you want to have an update to your game in your future (either fixing bugs, updating to a newer engine, etc) or reuse your old resources in some other games, it's always handy to keep your raw resources. And ya know, it's quite often that people had some disasters that they lost all their resources, so they whinned Pumaman to decompile the games for them, which is "not possible" currently.
