By default Remote Data Backups will not back up compressed music files (.mp3, .wma, etc.) because of obvious legal reasons (lawsuits from the recording industry). However, you can select these files yourself in the Advanced Backup Options screen. Note that when you suddenly start including all of your music files, you could go over your backup plan limit, preventing your backups from running until you deselect files.
