• It depends on your mac hard capacity. Back up external hard drive should be more than your mac's hard drive capacity.

• I would suggest looking up how much hard drive space your mac is currently using and go a bit over that, for future use. I have a 3 TB Airport Time Capsule and we back up my laptop, my wife's laptop as well as additional photos and files to it. I say if you can go bigger on your backup drive, the less likely you'll run out of space in the near future.
