Hey! I have done a similar thing with my iMac when I got a new one, what I did was plug in a USB (or in your case the backup drive) I open iTunes and I clicked on a song and made it blue and then I clicked Command+A to select all and then dragged the music files to the device (which should be a white icon on your desktop) and waited for it to transfer. I hope this helps!
