Depends on what OS you are running? If running vista you need to take the whole iTunes folder and back it up onto an external drive. The folder is located at C:\Users\user\Music

Note - user is the user name you login in as.

It will be in the same general location on XP look under documents and settings - Then go to you username(folder) and look for the music folder.
