It is important that the External Hard Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
There is also this...
Create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like

How can I backup my music and videos to icloud?
Hello, I want to be able to backup my music and videos to iCloud.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Anees.Only media that you purchased from Apple:
The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
Therefore what you purchased is not "backed up". The content remains where it originated - on iTunes.
Apple could easily change its mind and remove it, change it, or simply make it unavailable.
Same thing for iTunes Match I'm afraid... iTunes Match does not back up your content and is therefore not a backup strategy. It finds a "match" in its vast library and permits you to access it.
There have been a lot of complaints from purists who found their mono Beatles tracks were "matched" with stereo equivalents, "explicit" tracks matched with clean, etc.
The bottom line is that iCloud is no substitute for one's own iTunes backup, and a backup / clone of the device containing it. -
How do I backup my music in the cloud to my mac
How do I back up my music from the cloud to my mac?
One of the key steps that you'll need to take is (after signing into the iTunes Store) open the Preferences & choose the "Store tab".
You'll then be able to make sure that the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is selected.
After that, you go to your Library - where you need to select "Music" - be it your songs or your albums. At this point you may see an iCloud icon right next to the selector - or not; if you don't see it, then you'll need to select "View" from the iTunes menu bar. You will then see on the drop down menu list either "Show Music in the Cloud" or "Hide Music in the Cloud"; that's your toggle which you use to unveil your Music in the Cloud icon.
Now there is just one more preference that you may need to use to see all of your iCloud icons and that is also found right under "View"; it's "Show View Options" where you may need to check the box labeled "iCloud Download" from among the various "View Options".
So now that all of your preferences are set, you can plainly see which songs that are in the Cloud (the ones with the Cloud icon right next to the song or right on the album).....or if there is no Cloud icon then it's already in your library or has been downloaded into your Library. To download a song or album just click on the Cloud icon & it begins to download into your library.
So now you can choose which songs &/or albums you wish to download or re-download - depending how you wish to manage your iTunes library - which I won't go into here as there are so many options in addition to what we've gone over.
I hope that I've been able to help as there are so many preferences & options, indeed.
Enjoy

How can I backup my music library on my iPhone 5 before syncing it to a new computer
I have an iPhone 5 and 795 songs that I would like to keep (most of them I did't purchase them from iTunes) but I recently got a new laptop (finally upgraded to Macbook pro retina display 13'') and I don't want to lose all my tracks. Is there a way I can transfer them into my new computer before I sync it? By the way all my photos and videos were transferred to iPhoto. There was a pop up when I connected my phone with my new mac and I pressed the transfer button. However I didn't sync it yet (I think?). Can I do I transfer them by using AirDrop?
You will not be able to transfer the items purchased or the other Apple ID. You will need to reinstall the data under your Apple ID and pay for the apps.

How do I move ALL my music in iTunes back to its original space on my desktop. I have music on my desktop, music on an external hard drive and some saved on a flash. I cannot backup my music because I cannot locate it. I have 4 separate music libraries (same songs) but don't know where to begin to get my music and libraries back in order. CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME THE WAY HOME?
Hi there old45,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in Windows Explorer: Select the song, and choose File > Show in Explorer.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!No backup is a huge mistake.

How do you retrieve downloaded music and playlists after a complete computer crash. I can log into my Itunes account and make purchases but my music library is gone. I have an external backup on a flash drive but for some reason the music does not show up there either. It's like I have a brand new account and have to start all over. Itunes must have an archive I can access to get my music back, right?
MayaPlaylists should be part of your backup copy.

It's a bit late now. You will need to use third-party software such as Phone to PC in order to transfer the files to your new iTunes library. For items purchased from the iTunes Store you can re-download them: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How do I backup ALL of my iPad content onto a newly purchased MacBook Air? I can't backup up apps or music from CDs through the device backup function.
First you need to authorize your MBA with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. This will transfer/copy all iTunes content on your iPad that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
Photos on your iPad that were transferred from your old computer need to be transferred from your old computer to your MBA.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal if you aren't syncing this content over the air with an iCloud account, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your MBA. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your MBA with iPhoto or the Image Capture application.
