If you're running Vista Home Basic, then you need around 20 GB to back up
just the system. The other Vista versions require more space. See the
article at the following URL for more details about Vista hardware
requirements.

If you're backing up XP, then you need less space (1.5 GB). See the article
at the following URL for more details about XP hardware requirements.

Vista backups would not fit on a single DVD (not even dual layer DVDs). But
XP backups would.

Thanks
