I'm backing you my master iTunes library to a sparseimage file on my NAS. To do this I created a SD dset script that includes only the iTunes path and excludes everything else... then set it to run with that rule whenever I manually mount the sparseimage.

I just peeked at the setup and it's been a while since I did this, so the details are sketchy.

My iTunes music dir is located in the root of a different internal drive and outside of ~/Music/iTunes/ ... which can be done via iTunes Advanced preferences.

This is the script xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
