DEVICES -> BACKUP is to back up devices like iPods, iPhones, iPads, onto your computer.

Backup is most easily achieved by using Time Machine and backing up your entire Mac onto an external hard drive.

If your library fits onto a DVD: In the Finder, find the iTunes folder inside the "Music" folder. Then in the "File" menu choose "Burn iTunes to disk".
