200G. But let's stick to the only real subject and goal; restoration.
After years of failures of proprietary, compressed backup-restore
systems, the only thing I trust is an actual copy. The time it takes
to make the copy or restore from it is of almost no importance. The
process consists of poke a couple buttons and go to lunch - or to bed.

And, by having the backup a complete copy of the entire HDD, I can
plug it into a desktop to verify that it will boot. If the system to
be restored is a DT then restore consists of plugging in the backup
drive and fixing the faulty one at your leisure.

If you have a better way of getting a copy in and out of a system that
you don't want to open I'll be glad to hear it. In the meantime we
have got stuff that needs saving.
