Now, iTunes 7 offers a new way to back up your iTunes library, playlists, and iTunes Store purchases for safekeeping. The "Back Up to Disc" feature saves your media to a blank disc (CD or DVD) and once backed up, iTunes can use your backup disc(s) to automatically restore your iTunes library.

  • From the "File" menu, choose "Back Up to Disc".
  • Select the option you want from the resulting dialog and click "Back Up".
  • Insert a blank disc (CD or DVD) into your computer's optical drive. Now, iTunes will scan the disc and begin burning.
