I think i need to backup my iTunes library incase something happens to my laptop.

But what is the best way to do so?

If it's on your iPod, isn't it safe?

External drive, drag & drop the library file into a new location to duplicate it.

Or, alternately you can use iTunes to move it to a different location, but then it will want to reference that every time you use it.

I back up / archive my files to DVD. 7 gigs per disc.

If you have a DVD burner, iTunes has a feature to back up to disc.

If you have a Mac there is this:

I don't know if that's exactly what you're looking for, but it's neat if your comp blows up on you and you've an ipod with music on it.
