What ExBoot size should I buy if my PC or laptop hard disk is 160GB?

It is recommended that you select a hard disk that is at least 20% larger than your existing PC hard drive size.

 

This would allow ExBoot software to backup the entire existing drive and have additional space to maintain multiple incremental backup. Having multiple incremental backups will allow multiple recovery points.

 

In cases where the last copy of incremental is corrupted due to situations like spyware corruption or incompatible system patches, you can recover your files or system to an earlier version of incremental backup. This would enhance your ability to quickly return your system to a good working condition.
