Which one?
2TB for sample drive backups, 1 TB for OS drive backups, 1.5TB for data drive backups.
I use rotating backups for each drive so at all times, I have 3 chronological backups on each drive that I can restore from.

I just picked up a 4TB drive. I also keep 3 backup copies of stuff for when drives die, which they will do. I don't trust anything fewer than 2 backup copies. My general method is to buy a huge backup drive when the price seems right, and then consolidate all the previous backups onto it. Then I take the oldest backup drives that I have, (which at this point are the 500GB or thereabouts ones) wipe them, and get rid of them.
At this point, I have about 2.5 TB of backup data that I'm hauling around. So a copy is on my new 4 TB drive, two 2 TB drives, and three 1 TB drives.

The way I see it, the size of the backup drive in itself doesn't matter, but how it compares to the size of the workdrives (I consider it obvious that backup drives are NOT smaller than workdrives :o)
I keep my backup drives at least double the size of my workdrives. I have 500 Gb HDDs in my computer, the backup ones are 1-1,5 Tb. If I bought 1 Tb internals I'd get 2-4 Tb backup drives.
I think that way it's easier to use incremental backup method, when the using age of the backup drive is clearly longer than that of the workdrive.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
