My Mac Mini has a split file system with the media kept on an external HD. I just recently successfully transferred those media files over to a new HD as the original one was about to fail. I got very lucky there and do now wish to count on luck a second time.
I do have automatic back-up online using Backblaze, but I would also like to run a second HD as an in house back-up. I know that I cannot simply copy files over from one place to the next and expect iTunes to recognize them aferwards. So, what is the best approach to maintaining an iTunes back-up where it can be switched over to in the event of another HD failure, or one of my main computer and library files? And what is the process for doing that? Should my library files also be on the external HD?
I want to avoid going through the entire move library from here to there process I have just gone through. It would be nice to have an incremental type back-up that will be recognized by iTunes. I just don't know enough about this to make it happen on my own.
