Hi,
I back up my iTunes to an external hard drive about once a month. I consolidate the iTunes library and then copy and paste it to my external hard drive and delete the old version from the external hard drive. The whole process takes a couple of hours.
Is there any simple way that i can just copy new stuff over to my external hard drive rather than doing the whole thing?
I'm not very technologically minded so please make any replies very easy to understand.
many thanks,

You could use Microsoft's SyncToy which you can download for free from their web site. Very simple & quick to use.0

Thanks for this recommendation. I've just tried SyncToy for the first time and it's great - makes it much quicker for me to back upMS Stalwart. Used site for >10 years :jMake Do, Mend and Minimise member - focussing on upcycling/repurposing and sewing0
