copy itunes library to external drive

Hello! I want to make a backup copy my iTunes library from my MacBook Pro complete with cover art onto an external drive. I'm on High Sierra. Is it as simple as going to my username/music/iTunes and dragging and dropping the folder? Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Yes. You might want to look at a folder syncing tool such as Synkron so you could update the backup in future by only copying the new or updated files.
