I think backstory is so important. Even when the past events don't affect the plot, those past experiences will influence how the hero and heroine interact with each other and react to the events of the book.

I was thinking about this recently ... What kind of experiences have H/h had in the past with sex and romance? How will this color their own relationship? It makes a huge difference when looking at their reactions and their motivations. And wow... your characters certainly are well developed and complex. That's what I like to see in a character.
