> Hi Becca: Back up both your iTunes library and iTunes > library.xml. how do I back up the library? I know I can find the iTunesLibrary.xml file, and can just back that up onto a flash drive. > so they will wear out and fail without warning.

I've got a bunch of old photos on it, but they're also on a cd I have around here somewhere. Most of our important things are on my dh's computer. I'm sure he backs them up regularly; I tend to forget to think about things like that until a mess like what happened in the last few weeks got to me. -becca
