How can I back up my music files over 4900 songs to an external hard drive to my 2011 Mac mini model? Keeping them also on my hard drive in the mini. Thanks

You can use Time Machine or some other backup software such as Carbon Copy Cloner (this would also allow you to clone your drive to an external drive so you would have a duplicate drive in case of HD failure).

No, Carbon Copy Cleaner (CCC) is $39.95: http://sites.fastspring.com/bombich/product/ccc
Super Duper! is a little less expensive at $27.95: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescri...
CX provides 10GB of free online storage for 30 days and is $9.99 a year after that. It is an app available at: https://www.cx.com/mycx/premium_signup/
Time Machine is free: http://www.apple.com/osx/apps/#time-machine and should already be on your Mac (depending on the OS version).

Thanks for your response to me. Is there any other app free I can use to back up?

Why not just copy your "Music" folder to an external/removable drive, quick, easy and free.
