It will depend upon how much data and programs you have on your system. A Windows 7 installation without any programs on it can be backed up in about 6 Gigabytes, so any modern external hard drive can do a 'system backup' of a modern operating system. It is the programs and documents that are on the system that take up the majority of space in an older computer.
