AFAIK, there is no preset limit in the application.

For a normal backup, the total size of the drive is irrelevant. The size of the backup will depend upon how much of that drive is used, the total size of used space.

When ATIH creates the backup, the data will be compressed to somewhere around 60%-70% of the original size on normal compression setting, I think. Actual size of the backup will vary according to the compression level you choose, and the nature of what is being backed up. Some types of files are more compressable than others.
