I have 40,000 some tracks saved on my external Western Digital hard drive. I want to back up that hard drive just in case it crashs. What’s the best way of doing this? I don’t want to have to download all those songs all over again. Is there a software program that i need to do this? I am running Windows XP on a HP Notebook for my concerts.

Sorry to be so long in posting a reply but I don’t get to spend much time on here any more. Anyway, there are a few options.
If you have enough space on your internal hard drive, you could copy the files there. I’m guessing though with 40,000 files at roughly 4mb per you probably don’t.
If you have a DVD burner, you could copy them off on DVD (an option I had to throw out even though I don’t recommend it).
My recommendation would be to jump over to Newegg and get another WD 500gb external drive and copy the files there. Newegg has them on sale right now for 122 bucks. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136175
