Your wallet always changes, it contains information about any transactions you have sent or received and the current state of the Bitcoin network (the last block seen when it was running).
Your backup, provided you made it when Bitcoin was completely closed, will be good for at least 100 new addresses you create or 100 transactions you send, however it won't be good forever if you continuously use Bitcoin. There are 100 reserve pool addresses in the wallet that are for future use - one you have exhausted these and Bitcoin has to make new addresses that aren't in the backup, you can lose money if your backup is out of date.
