Re: [Apple iPod] Backing up iTunes Library

Hi Dave,

Welcome. :)

I need to ask some questions. ;)

If you make the external the only place for your library, where will you
back it up?

How are you doing backups for other files now?

Is there room on either Mac to hold all your music? Why is it split between
the 2?

How big is the external? How big are the iMac's and MacBook's drives and how
much is used?
