[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1422967, member: 110816"] Your iTunes library and the actual music files can be backed up separately. You can create multiple libraries, but then you'd have to pull it back together in the future if want to return stuff from your backup. In your ~/iTunes folder is the actual library that should only be a few hundred meg at best based on the size of your overall music library. Your music files might be there or elsewhere. If they are in the same folder, then make sure to backup just the library on one DVD and backup your music files into as many DVD's as it takes. When you want to bring everything back, just re-create the library and music folders the way you have it right now and iTunes will find everything (this is a good reason to backup the files AS they are with all the folders as opposed to JUST the music files)..
