If you have securely stored your seed phrase, it's not absolutely necessary to back up your Exodus wallet file. The seed phrase is the most critical piece of information for restoring your wallet because it allows you to recover your Bitcoin and other assets even if your computer crashes or the wallet file is lost.

However, having a backup of the wallet file can still be useful as an additional layer of security. Here’s why:

Benefits of Backing Up the Wallet File:
1. Quicker Restoration: Restoring from a wallet file can be faster and easier, especially if you have many different assets and settings in your wallet.
2. Convenience: It provides an extra level of convenience, saving you from manually inputting the seed phrase and configuring your wallet again.
3. Redundancy: It's always good to have multiple backup methods to ensure you don’t lose access to your funds in case one method fails.

Key Points:
- Seed Phrase: Essential for recovering your wallet and funds.
- Wallet File: Useful for convenience and quick restoration.

If you have to choose one, the seed phrase is the most important. But having both can provide extra peace of mind.
