Hi Sonny.
My experience is that you cannot "backup" from itunes to a portable hard 
drive. It has to be to CDs or DVDs. I just did the same for my daughter (the 
first mac owner in our family) and, even by copying the file directory to a 
portable drive, via Windows Explorer, was not able to import the songs 
properly. And I haven't found the menu in itunes that allows you to do an 
itunes backup to an external (or internal) hardrive. We just backed up to 
about 13 DVDs and then restored, all from within itunes, without problems.
All that said, I'm not even a mcnovice and will be watching this thread for 
expert advice.
Good luck,
Bob

My son, who is  smart and talented enough to get full-tuition scholarship at
Oklahoma City University, and has been a Mac guy at heart held hostage in a
PC household, will get his first Mac book next week.  (He does wear his
shirt tails out... ;-)

The question is, can we load his i-tunes files on a portable hard drive, and
get them off the dd onto the mac?
